vegetable oil cooking spray
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water

I made this for my family and they loved it! It was so easy to make and so delicious. I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

Yummy - I made this last night and I can't believe how delicious it is. I used salted pistachios and I think that really helped flavor the brittle. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

So where do you buy shelled pistachios?

I've already tried something similar with peanuts and it really is a great way to get some crispy crunch with a hint of saltiness.
