I burned the sugar twice before I got it to turn out right. The stove definiatly doesn't need to be on high to reach the temperatures, and on high it surely wouldn't take 20 minutes. Even on the low setting, the brittle tasted burnt and I didn't take it near 290 degrees to finish. It's a good recipe, but the directions need to be modified a bit.
Wonderful!

The hazelnut crunch was delicious! Caution: You have to follow the recipe closely. I made 4 different batches and 2 came out perfectly. Of the 2 other batches, one was overdone, and the other was underdone. Watch that candy thermometer closely!
Yummy!

This is absolutely delicious! I recommend keeping an eye on the candy thermometer, because it took only 13 minutes for mine to reach the desired temperature of 260 degrees.
delicious!

i've never made candy before and i thought this was really easy! i followed the directions exactly as written, except i added 2 teaspoons of cinnamon along with the butter and hazelnuts, just cause i love that. you could really kind of mess around with that and add different spices (maybe cayenne even, to make it a little spicy?) and even different nuts. all in all, i thought this was a great, easy recipe -- everyone should try it!
Easy & Delicious

Enjoyed making the candy, but I remember my great aunt making them over 50 years ago and I remember it being all dark candy. I am very happy to have the receipe and it brought back great memories.
HEAVEN

No one in my family can stop eating this when I make it. The more times you make it the easier it gets!

I just made this a few minutes ago and it was so easy to make (with candy thermometer)! I snuck a taste of it before i walked away to let it completely harden & it's amazing!
Great for Christmas Gifts!

I have never made candy before and this recipe was soooo easy. It came out perfectly every time. I added to my Christmas gift baskets for friends and family. They loved it too. It's also great broken up over ice cream!
A rival to a famous local brand!

Once again, Giada's recipe has not failed to wow me! Maybe it was beginner's luck, but I had no trouble making this. It came out perfect, not burned, not underdone. I did choose to use a variety of nuts instead of just hazelnuts. I used a mixture of hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews and almonds. They were delicious in the brittle and really added something extra with all those flavors. This brittle is fantastic over coffee ice cream. I hope to make it during the holidays every year. What a great tradition this would be. Thanks Giada.
