Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

vegetable oil or cooking spray, for baking sheet
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from one 7-ounce can chipotle chiles in adobo, reserve chiles for another use)
1 cup unsalted roasted pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Lightly brush with oil or coat with cooking spray.
  • Cook sugar, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring, until sugar just dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes.
  • Cook about 1 minute more, swirling the pan, until syrup is light amber.
  • Carefully stir in adobo sauce (hot syrup will spatter), and cook 30 seconds.
  • Remove pan from heat.
  • Add pepitas, peanuts, and cayenne, stirring to coat.
  • Immediately pour onto baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with remaining salt.
  • Let cool completely, and break into pieces.

SMOKY WALNUT BRITTLE



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.

SWEET & SPICY PISTACHIO BRITTLE



Sweet & Spicy Pistachio Brittle image

I noticed a poll being taken on Facebook, peanut brittle vs almond bark. I was glancing through the comments when I noticed a comment about a sweet and spicy pistachio brittle. I immediately messaged this gal, asking if I could have the recipe. A few days later, she sent it to me. I was sooooo happy!!! I made it almost right...
