A delightful twist on the classic brittle, this recipe combines toasted macadamia nuts with a buttery caramel base for a festive treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Preheating ensures even toasting of the nuts.
Spread the macadamia nuts on a baking tray and toast them in the oven for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Toasting enhances the nutty flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir gently to avoid splashing.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer.
Use a candy thermometer for precise results.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the butter, salt, baking soda, and toasted macadamia nuts.
Work quickly as the mixture sets fast.
Pour the mixture onto a greased sheet pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Spread thinly for a crisp texture.
Allow the brittle to cool completely, then break it into pieces.
Use a mallet for uniform pieces.
