Time 30m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups corn syrup
2 cups sunflower seeds, raw
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Butter the sides of a large heavy saucepan. Add sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Cook and stir over medium-low heat until a candy thermometer reads 260 degrees (hard-ball stage).
  • Stir in sunflower seeds and butter. Cook on medium to 300 degree (hard-crack stage).
  • Remove from the heat; vigorously stir in vanilla and baking soda.
  • Pour into a buttered 15x10x1" baking pan; spread evenly to fill pan. Cool completely.
  • Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh sunflower seeds and honey will give your brittle the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sugar: The sugar should be cooked until it is a light amber color. If you overcook it, the brittle will be too hard.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the sugar mixture constantly will prevent it from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer will help you to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar mixture.
  • Work quickly: Brittle sets quickly, so you need to work quickly when you are pouring it onto the baking sheet.

Conclusion:

Sunflower seed brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give sunflower seed brittle a try!
