Brittle: Macadamia Brittle

Source of Recipe

unknown


List of Ingredients

1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, coarse chopped
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips


Recipe

Line bottom and sides of 9-inch round cake pan with aluminum foil. Butter foil generously. Cook nuts, butter, sugar, and corn syrup in heavy large skillet over low heat, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until mixture turns golden brown and begins to mass together, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Pour into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let melt and spread evenly over top. Cool 15 minutes. Remove candy from pan. Peel off foil. Cook completely. Break into pieces. Makes 1 pound.

(I suggest using the freezer or refrigerator to cool candy before removing foil.) NOTE: I have yet to find Macadamia nuts that are unsalted. Instead gently rinse them under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
