Macadamia Brittle

By Shaylie

To cool the brittle quickly, place it in
the freezer until it hardens.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups macadamia nuts (7 ounces)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the nuts on a 13-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes,
or until lightly toasted. Transfer the nuts to a plate; let cool and coarsely chop.

2. Wipe off the baking sheet and oil it lightly. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, honey and butter, and boil over moderately high heat until a candy thermometer inserted in the syrup registers 290°, about 7 minutes. Stir in the chopped nuts and scrape the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; spread in an even layer. Let cool completely, then break into large pieces.
