Cooking Tips

  • Be careful when working with hot sugar syrup as it can cause severe burns. Use caution and keep children away from the cooking area.
  • You can customize the nut combination according to your preference. Try using a mix of almonds, cashews, peanuts, and pecans for a variety of flavors and textures.
  • If you prefer a thinner brittle, spread the nut mixture out into a thinner layer on the baking sheet.
  • To prevent the brittle from sticking to the baking sheet, you can lightly grease the parchment paper or silicone mat before pouring the mixture.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the readiness of the toffee by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. It should harden and become brittle.

Storage and Serving

  • Store the mixed nut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Serve the brittle as a snack or dessert.
  • You can also package the brittle in decorative bags or jars to give as gifts during the holiday season or special occasions.
