24 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 0.75 cup superfine sugar
  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 0.5 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 0.66666668653488 cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
  • 2 cups chopped roasted pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Combine 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, butter, water, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until butter has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add syrup and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Allow mixture to come to a boil, stirring constantly. Once mixture reaches 310 degrees F (155 degrees C), remove saucepan from heat. Stir in pistachios, baking soda, and cayenne (mixture will foam).
  • Stir until mixture is no longer bubbling and caramel is smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread out with a lightly greased spatula. Let cool until firm, about 15 minutes. Break into pieces.
