Ingredients

7 ounces dry roasted edamame

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 pound 6 ounces sugar

12 ounces water

Directions

  1. Place the edamame, soy sauce, cayenne pepper and salt into a small mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Line a half sheet pan with a silicone baking mat.
  3. Place a 3-quart saucier inside a large cast iron skillet. Add the sugar and water to the saucier, and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it comes to a boil. Stop stirring, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the sugar is a light amber color, approximately 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the edamame mixture. Working quickly, pour the mixture onto the prepared half sheet pan and spread thin with an oiled spatula. You will have to work quickly when pouring out and spreading the mixture in the pan. Cool completely, approximately 30 minutes, and then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

For those of you having trouble with this recipe let me point out a few things. <br />First, its the same candy making technique as Alton's Peanut Brittle. 2nd Watch the video for the Pnut version and you will get the hang of it. 3rd use a candy thermometer. Yea Alton says eyeball it it but in the video he points out to take the sugar to 340 deg F. Eye balling sugar crack points is for experts like my grandma was. 4th Read my review of the peanut brittle recipe :)
