Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water, to dissolve
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and cooled
Directions
In a saucepan boil the sugar and water together to make a caramel. Test the color of the caramel on a white plate. It should be amber-brown. Stir in the butter with a wooden spoon then stir in the nuts. Pour onto a silpat and let cool. Break up into chunks (for brittle, just chop or crush with the bottom of a bottle). Store in an airtight container.

Excellent, I have used every nut available and it comes out perfect every time. Tonight I used brazil nuts, almonds and pecans to put in my Christmas baskets, awesome and fool proof! Loved it!!! No extra ingredients needed, I watched the episode. Cook over a medium to medium high heat til golden, remove from stove top add butter and nuts and pour to cool. If using a thermometer I would say about 320 degrees maybe 350.

I have been making nut brittle for years and this recipe is terrible! There aren't any specific candy making directions, temperature requirements, etc. I ended up with a crystallized mess and wasted about $10 worth of nuts not to mention the 4 cups of organic sugar. Starting over with a different recipe.
You really need to delete this recipe all together and start over as well.
Very dissapointing!
