Yield Makes one 9-by-13-inch pan

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for baking sheet
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate (about 2 1/4 ounces)
Vegetable oil, for spatula

Steps:

  • Brush a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with butter. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the baking sheet; set aside.
  • Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush away any sugar crystals on the side of the pan to prevent recrystallization. Without stirring, continue to cook until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage on a candy thermometer (300 degrees).
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Add the chocolate while stirring constantly.
  • Pour the mixture onto the prepared rimmed baking sheet. Spread quickly into a thin layer using an oiled metal spatula. Let cool completely. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my brittle turned out really hard. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I'm going to try making this brittle with different types of nuts. I think pecans or walnuts would be a great addition.

I had some trouble getting the brittle to set properly. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This brittle is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
