Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a piece of foil lightly greased with canola oil spray.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium saucepot fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil without stirring; cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F (the hard-crack stage), 12 to 15 minutes -- the sugar will become deeply caramelized.
- Remove the pot from the heat and carefully add the butter, baking soda, vanilla paste and fennel; the sugar will bubble up and incorporate all the ingredients on its own. With a heatproof rubber spatula, stir in the pistachios and then immediately spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. While the brittle is still hot, zest the orange evenly over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Let the brittle cool completely before breaking into small pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, place the brittle in a zip-close bag, remove any excess air, and freeze for up to 1 month.
SWEET AND SPICY BRITTLE
If you like nut brittle as well as I do, here is something a little different. This is almost foolproof if the steps are followed through in the correct order and you work fast. The chili powder adds a little kick at the end. I personally use a dried mixture of ghost pepper, Carolina reaper, and Caribbean red habiarino peppers...

Steps:
- 1. Read through entire recipe and have everything ready to go. Steps must go fast and in order to insure brittle will come out correct. In a large glass measuring cup, or glass bowl, mix sugar and corn syrup. Microwave for 5-7 min or until mixture has started to turn to a lite amber color. Keep a close eye on this, some microwaves cook faster than others.
- 2. While the sugar and syrup is microwaving, quickly mix together butter, and all the nuts and seeds. When sugar and syrup is ready, quickly add nut and seed mixture, microwave 2 more min.
- 3. As soon as the above comes out of the microwave stir in vanilla, salt, baking soda and chili powder, combine well and spread out on a silicone mat laid on a baking sheet with a silicone spatula (makes clean up so much easier), as thin as you would like your brittle.
- 4. When cooled break into small pieces, store in airtight container.

Steps:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with nonstick spray and set aside. Whisk sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Fit saucepan with candy thermometer, bring mixture to a boil, and cook until thermometer registers 290°F, 3-4 minutes.
- Using a heatproof spatula, stir in pistachios, butter, and kosher salt (syrup will seize initially, but will melt as it heats back up). Continue to cook syrup, stirring often, until thermometer registers 300°F and pistachios are golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Caramel should be pale brown (it will darken slightly as it cools). Sprinkle baking soda over and stir quickly to blend caramel thoroughly (mixture will bubble vigorously).
- Immediately pour caramel onto prepared baking sheet and, using a heatproof spatula, quickly spread out as thin as possible. Sprinkle sea salt over and let caramel cool completely. Break brittle into pieces. DO AHEAD: Brittle can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight between sheets of parchment paper (to prevent sticking) at room temperature.

PISTACHIO BRITTLE
Around the holidays, most individuals will pull out their beloved family recipe for peanut brittle, except me. I don't care for peanuts; however, I do find myself in love with brittle made with cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts, the list goes on, including pistachios! A candy thermometer is a must for this recipe due to the golden syrup! It's also best to use superfine granulated sugar as it melts better, and for best results make this when it is not humid.
