Recipe
- First, spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
- Then, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved.
- Clip the thermometer onto the side of the saucepan and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 275°F, about 7 minutes.
- Then, add 2 cups of the pistachios, baking soda, and the 1 tablespoon of Maldon salt and continue stirring until mixture reaches 295°F on the thermometer (watch carefully because it can go from done to burnt in a second).
- Working quickly, pour the mixture out onto the prepared sheet pan using a rubber spatula and spread into a thin even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining pistachios and 2 pinches of salt. Cool completely, then break into pieces with your hands. Enjoy immediately or store in an air-tight container for up to a few weeks.
