Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Spread all the nuts on ungreased baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes, stirring once. Let nuts cool completely.
- Line a shallow rimmed 15 1/2" x 10" baking sheet with parchment paper and grease lightly with butter. In a small bowl, place butter, vanilla and baking soda (no need to blend); set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat, bring sugar, corn syrup and 1/3 cup water to a boil, uncovered. While sugar cooks, brush down the sides of the pan with cool water. Boil sugar over high heat until it turns a light amber colour, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly stir in butter, vanilla and baking soda with a wooden spoon (the baking soda will make it foamy). Stir in nuts until coated and spoon mixture onto prepared baking tray. Spread brittle as thinlly as possible with a greased rubber spatula, as thinly as possible. Let brittle cool completely at room temperature.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave on MEDIUM, stirring every 10 seconds, until melted. Crack brittle into desired serving pieces and dip halfway into melted chocolate and place back onto greased parchment-lined baking tray. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and allow chocolate to set.

Steps:
- Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Avoid splashing side of saucepan. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 290 degrees F or a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into threads that are hard but not brittle. This will take about 18 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a steady boil. Watch carefully the last 5 minutes to prevent overcooking. Remove from heat and remove the thermometer.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan. Tilt pan to spread mixture evenly. Let stand 2 minutes. In a small bowl combine the cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Sprinkle evenly over candy mixture.
- Set baking pan on a wire rack. Cool completely and break into large pieces to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the nuts and chocolate, the better the brittle will taste.
- Toast the nuts before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the syrup gets too dark, the brittle will be bitter.
- Work quickly when spreading the brittle. It will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get it evenly spread.
- Sprinkle the brittle with sea salt while it is still warm. This will help the salt to adhere to the brittle.
- Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
