Description

Oklahoma Nut Candy is a sweet and crunchy treat made with a mix of nuts coated in a buttery, sugary syrup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups mixed nuts (such as pecans, walnuts, and peanuts)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Begin by greasing a large baking sheet or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir continuously until melted and dissolved.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes until it reaches a light golden color.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt carefully.
  5. Fold in the mixed nuts until well coated in the syrup.
  6. Sprinkle the baking soda over the nut mixture and stir quickly.
  7. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
  8. Let the candy cool completely at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours.
  9. Once set, break into pieces or cut into squares.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the syrup to avoid burning.
  • For a fancier presentation, sprinkle extra nuts on top before it sets.
