Mixed Nut Brittle

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Measure all ingredients before starting.

Step 2

In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Bring to a boil without stirring. Cook until mixture turns deep amber and reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat. Quickly stir in 2 tbsp butter, 1 cup cashews, 1/2 cup walnuts, and 1/2 cup raisins until well coated.

Step 5

Stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda (mixture will foam). Immediately pour onto prepared sheet and spread thinly with a spatula.

Step 6

Let cool completely until hard, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
