== Ingredients ==
* 2½ cups sugar
* 1¼ cups light corn syrup
* 1 cup water
* 1 tablespoon salt
* ½ cup pecans
* ½ cup cashews
* ½ cup macadamia nuts
* ½ cup almonds
* 4 tablespoons butter
* 3 teaspoons baking soda
== Directions ==
# In a nonstick saucepan, heat and stir sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt over medium heat until sugar has dissolved.
# Over high heat, using a candy thermometer, cook sugar mixture to a hard crack stage (290°F).
# Add nuts and butter and cook to 300°F stirring all the time to keep the nuts from burning.
# Pull off heat at 300°F and stir in baking soda while beating to a froth for 30 seconds.
# Pour at once on to 4 well buttered 15½ by 10 by 1-inch pans.
# Spread with a spatula as thin as possible.
# As the brittle cools you may use gloves to hand stretch the brittle which will give it a better eating quality.
# This brittle has a great shelf life, if kept in air tight zip locks or containers, it will keep for 2 months.
