Four-Nut Brittle image

Meet the Cook: We delight in being hospitable - it's the true mark of a country home...even if it is in the city. This recipe's one I created myself. I enjoy various kinds of nuts and wanted a candy that has a different crunch in every bite. My husband and I have a daughter, who's just turning 19 months old. -Kelly-Ann Gibbons, Prince George, British Columbia

I've tried a lot of brittle recipes, but this one is by far the best. The nuts are perfectly roasted and the caramel is just the right amount of sweetness.
