Ingredients
2cupssugar
½cupwater
1stickunsalted butter
cuplight corn syrup
½tspbaking soda
12ozpeanuts,roasted, salted
fleur de sel,or crushed Maldon sea salt
Preparation
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter, and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the caramel is light brown and registers 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the baking soda. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the nuts, then immediately scrape the brittle onto a large rimmed, nonstick baking sheet.
Using the back of a large spoon (oil it lightly if it sticks), spread the brittle into a thin, even layer. Sprinkle with salt.
Let cool completely for about 30 minutes.
Break the brittle into large shards, then serve and enjoy!
