Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
12 ounces chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Grease a cookie sheet and set it aside.
  • Add the sugar and light corn syrup to a medium to large saucepan and mix. Turn the burner on medium-high heat.
  • Next, add the chopped pecans, water, and salt and stir to coat.
  • Place the candy thermometer into the pan and cook until the thermometer reaches 275-degrees, stirring often.
  • Once the thermometer reaches 275-degrees, remove it from the pan, remove the pan from on top of the burner, and stir in the butter until melted.
  • Add the baking soda and mix well (it will foam up some).
  • Quickly pour the pecan brittle onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread it out.
  • Allow the pecan brittle to cool for at least one hour. (It will smooth out and get shiny as it cools).
  • Break the pecan brittle into pieces.
