Ingredients

1. 1 cup sugar
2. 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3. 2 tablespoons water
4. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5. 1/2 cup roasted, salted macadamia nuts (3 ounces), finely chopped
6. 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1. Lightly oil a large baking sheet. In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup and water to a boil, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and cook over moderately high heat until the syrup turns an amber caramel, about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and nuts. Add the baking soda and stir just until foamy. Immediately pour the caramel onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool, then crack into 1/2-inch bits.
