Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Ensure your candy thermometer is accurate for the best results. Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and texture. Work quickly when spreading the caramel and adding the nuts, as the caramel sets fast. Store the brittle in an airtight container to maintain its crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare Your Pan: Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil, ensuring it extends slightly over the edges for easy removal. Set aside. (2 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Melt and Combine: In a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, water, and corn syrup until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
Step
18 mins
Boil to Perfection: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, being careful not to touch the bottom. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the thermometer registers 290°F (143°C), also known as the hard-crack stage. This should take around 15-18 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to maintain a steady boil and prevent burning. Be extra attentive during the last 5 minutes!

Step
2 mins
Incorporate Nuts and Seeds: Once the mixture reaches 290°F (143°C), immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and detach the thermometer. Pour the hot caramel into the prepared baking pan, tilting the pan to spread it into an even layer. Let it stand for 2 minutes.
05
Step
1 mins
Add Toppings: In a small bowl, combine the chopped cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the hot caramel.
06
Step
1 hrs
Cool and Break: Place the baking pan on a wire rack and let the brittle cool completely. Once cooled and hardened, break the brittle into large, irregular pieces to serve. (60 minutes)
