Instructions
- Line a sheet with parchment and keep the nuts warm in a 250 F (120 C) oven.
- Put 1/3 of the sugar in a heavy skillet over medium heat; when it melts, add the next third, then the last.
- Cook without stirring, swirling the pan, until the caramel is a deep amber, about 340 F (170 C).
- Remove from the heat, add the butter and warm nuts, and stir to coat completely.
- Pour onto the parchment, sprinkle with the salt and separate with two forks.
- Cool 20 minutes until hard, then break apart.
Tips
- Warm nuts keep the caramel from seizing.
- Pull the pan off the heat at amber; it keeps cooking.
- Roughly chop for use on ice cream or cakes.
- Cooked sugar at 340 F (170 C) causes severe burns.
