Ingredients

• 1 cup macadamia nuts
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dried blueberries

Directions

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10 minutes.
4. Once the mixture reaches 300°F, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the butter, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
5. Immediately pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone spatula or the back of a greased spoon to spread the mixture into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Sprinkle the dried blueberries evenly over the hot brittle, lightly pressing them into the surface.
7. Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature. This will take about 1 hour.
8. Once the brittle has hardened, break it into smaller pieces by gently tapping it with a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
9. Serve the Macadamia Nut Brittle with Blueberries as a snack or dessert, and enjoy!
