Notes: If desired, use salted butter and omit salt. If mkaing up to 2 days in advance, store airtight. Ingredients:
about 1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) unsalted butter |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
1 3/4 teaspoons cayenne |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups (3/4 lb.) hulled salted roasted peanuts |
2 1/2 cups (3/4 lb.) salted roasted cashews |
1/2 cup (2 1/2 oz.) hulled salted roasted sunflower seed |
3 tablespoons sesame seed |
Directions:
1. Butter a sheet of foil, about 12 by 17 inches.
2. In a nonstick 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, frequently stir 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cayenne, and salt until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
3. Add peanuts, cashews, sunflower seed, and sesame seed. Turn heat to high and stir until mixture is very thick and nuts begin to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
4. Immediately pour mixture onto buttered foil, spreading as thinly as possible with back of a spoon. Cool until mixture is lukewarm, about 15 minutes.
5. With your hands, release brittle from foil, then pull or break it into bite-size pieces. When cool, immediately store airtight (otherwise, the coating absorbs moisture and gets sticky).
6. Nutritional analysis per 2 ounces.
