- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup salted mixed nuts coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Challenge Salted Butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Since this recipe moves quickly, I recommend you measure out and organize your ingredients before you start the cooking process.
- In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Add in mixed nuts and stir until combined.
- Place a candy thermometer into the mixture and continue cooking, stirring frequently until temperature reaches 300°F.
- Immediately remove saucepan from heat and quickly stir in butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
- Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture into a rectangle about 14x12 inches.
- Cool completely at room temperature.
- Snap candy into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
