Smoky Walnut Brittle image

The traditional peanut brittle gets an update by using walnuts that are toasted, plus an addition of smokehouse rub found at Winco® (1745 is the bin number). Instead of using traditional corn syrup, I swapped to Lyle's® golden syrup; I believe it gave a deeper, richer taste. I absolutely recommend using a nonstick saucepan and a silicone spatula, because this mixture is rather sticky

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped walnuts
cooking spray
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
½ cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon smokehouse rub (such as Winco®)
½ teaspoon walnut extract

Steps:

  • Pour walnuts into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Line a rimmed half-sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar, water, and golden syrup in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and wait for the mixture to reach 275 degrees F (135 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
  • Once sugar mixture reaches 275 degrees F (135 degrees C), add toasted walnuts. Stir using a silicone spatula until mixture reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), about 5 minutes more. Stir in butter, baking soda, smokehouse rub, and walnut extract.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and carefully pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow to cool before breaking into smaller pieces, about 30 minutes.
