Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Place the macadamias on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Roast for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cut the butter in cubes and keep ready next to the stove.
- Mix the sugar and water and bring to a boil. No need to stir until the sugar starts turning into caramel. Wait for the caramel to turn into a brown, amber colour and remove the pan from the heat.
- Quickly stir in the cubes of butter one by one until they are completely dissolved. Immediately pour the hot caramel over the macadamia nuts. Be careful not to burn yourself while making the brittle, caramel is extremely hot.
- Let it cool completely at room temperature. Break into pieces or cut with a knife for more even sizes. The nut brittle can be stored for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
