Step 1

Chop/crush and lightly toast your nuts. This step is optional but definitely adds to the flavour. Lay a silicone mat or sheet of grease paper on a flat heat resistant surface.

Step 2

Combine the salt and baking soda and set aside nearby. Combine sugar, water, and butter if using in a heavy saucepan and set over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir with a rubber spatula to dissolve the sugar (and butter). Once it begin and to boil, swirl the pot around occasionally to promote even cooking.

Step 4

When the mixture is a deep amber colour, remove the pot from heat, quickly add the baking soda and salt and stir. Add the nuts and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Quickly pour the hot peanut mixture onto your silicone mat or grease papered surface. Spread evenly with an oiled knife or spoon and allow to cool for about 5-8 minutes.

Step 6

Break the brittle apart with the back of a knife and serve. Store extra in an air tight container.
