1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tbs water
1 cup nutmeats
1 tbs butter
1 tsp baking soda
Cook sugar and water in a deep saucepan until it spins a thread. Add butter and nuts, and cook until caramel colored (light brown). Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet and allow to cool. Shatter with knife handle.
Mixture is hot, and will burn. Don't use something like PAM to grease the cookie sheets; it will spoil the flavor of the brittle. Peanuts and pecans are very good, as are filberts.
