Thank you. Have you made this many times? By the time the candy thermometer was near 275 the nuts were starting to scorch. Have you ever added the nuts near the end instead? I love the lime/pistachio flavor but I need to make a new batch... no worries, my teenagers will clean this one right up...scorch or no scorch!

I'm so sorry about the scorching. I made it a few times. Maybe toast the nuts first or don't toast, and add them at the end. The color should be a pale brown for the brittle. But the hard crack stage is 300 degrees so the sugar needs to be that temp to make the brittle. The only other thing I could think of is that the stove temp was set too high instead of at medium.

The directions to this recipe do not match the ingredient list. Butter? How much?
