Total Time 1 hours 50 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 8

1?½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1?½ cups white sugar
1 cup water
1 cup light corn syrup
2?½ cups coarsely chopped pecans
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat. Mix together baking soda, 1 teaspoon water, and vanilla in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Mix together sugar, 1 cup water, and corn syrup in a 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface, about 25 minutes.
  • Stir in pecans and butter. Heat to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads, about 13 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in reserved baking soda mixture, until candy is light and foamy.
  • Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and allow to cool until hardened, 1 to 2 hours. Break into pieces.

  • Preheat the oven to 375° with a rack in the center position. Roast the nuts on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant, about 10 minutes, then transfer to large bowl. Line the baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.  In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the milk solids turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.  In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring when the mixture begins to boil. Cook until the mixture is deep amber and just beginning to smoke, about 20 minutes, brushing away any crystals that form on the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush.  Off heat, stir in the brown butter, salt, and baking soda with a heatproof silicone spatula. Add the pecans and walnuts stir until the foam begins to subside. Be careful, the mixture will be extremely hot. Pour the candy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread with the silicone spatula to about 9-by-12 inches. Sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside to cool completely, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
