Ingredients
-
1 cup Sunbest Natural Pecans (raw or lightly roasted)
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
½ cup light corn syrup
-
¼ cup water
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Have all ingredients measured and ready to go—brittle sets quickly!
-
Cook the syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil.
-
Add pecans: Stir in pecans and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the temperature reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer. This usually takes about 10–15 minutes.
-
Add final ingredients: Remove from heat and immediately stir in butter, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. The mixture will foam up—stir quickly but carefully.
-
Pour and spread: Immediately pour the brittle onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out as thin as possible using a spatula or spoon.
-
Cool and break: Let it cool completely (about 30 minutes), then break into pieces and enjoy!
