Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup liquid honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 (300 g) bag dry-roasted macadamia nuts
  • 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper and grease well with butter.
  • Combine the sugar, honey and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Without stirring, Cook until reaches "hard crack", about 300F on a candy thermometer, while occasionally brushing the inside of the pot with cool water. This will take about 7-9 minutes, and the sugar will turn a deep amber color.
  • Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the salt and macadamia nuts. Carefully add butter, baking soda, and vanilla; it will immediately foam. Working quickly, spread brittle onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow to set completely before cracking into pieces.
