Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup coarsely chopped salted macadamia nuts (2 oz)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Lightly oil a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet, then warm in oven.
  • Shake nuts in a coarse sieve to remove any nut powder (this will create a clearer brittle).
  • Cook sugar and water in a deep 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until golden. Immediately stir in red pepper flakes and nuts and cook, stirring, until nuts are golden, about 1 minute. Quickly pour onto foil, tilting baking sheet to spread brittle evenly before it hardens. (If caramel hardens too fast, put in a 400°F oven until warm enough to spread, 1 to 2 minutes.) Cool brittle on baking sheet on a rack until completely hardened, then break into large pieces.

This brittle is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good.

This brittle is a bit too hard for my taste. I prefer it to be a bit more chewy.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great!

I had some trouble getting the brittle to the right consistency. It was a bit too hard.
