A unique twist on peanut brittle. I mixed the seasonal flavors of maple and pecans and it turned out beautifully. The brittle has a slightly buttery taste to it from the nuts and a warmth from the maple.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces chopped pecans
- ¼ cup margarine, softened
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, water, and salt together in a pot over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, 5 to 10 minutes. Fold pecans into sugar mixture.
Step 3
Place a candy thermometer in pecan mixture and turn heat up to medium-high. Gently stir mixture until it reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Quickly removing pot from heat and stir in margarine and baking soda until well mixed. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out with a spatula. Allow to cool until hardened, about 30 minutes. Break into pieces.
