"Nutcracker" Mixed-Nut Brittle in the Microwave

Recipe by Bibi from allrecipes.com

Dessert 40 Mins.

Ingredients

12

12 servings

  • 1 serving cooking spray
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 ½ cups mixed raw nut halves and pieces
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste (Optional)

Instructions

  • Butter a 10x15-inch baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  • Spray a heatproof spoon with cooking spray. Stir sugar and corn syrup together in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl using the greased spoon. Microwave on high until very bubbly, 2 1/2 to 4 minutes.
  • Quickly stir in nuts and butter. Continue microwaving until bubbles begin to take on a light caramel color, another 2 1/2 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure the nuts don't burn. Add vanilla extract and baking soda, stirring quickly until bubbly and combined.
  • Immediately pour mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in a thin layer. Sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool and set before breaking into pieces, 30 to 40 minutes.
