Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 ½ cup pistachios, toasted, chopped and divided
  • 1 ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted and divided
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon flaky finishing salt, plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Line a 16” x 11.5” baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly coat with cooking spray, or line with a silicone baking mat.
  • In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, bring sugar, honey, and water to a boil while stirring constantly. Once the mixture begins to boil, lower the heat to medium, insert the candy thermometer, and continue to cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 290℉ (145℃). Remove from heat and remove the candy thermometer.
  • Stir 1 cup pistachios and 1 cup almonds into the candy mixture until incorporated.
  • Whisk in baking soda quickly just until incorporated. The mixture will quickly triple in size.
  • Carefully pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Do not spread or deflate the candy.
  • Evenly sprinkle the remaining pistachios, almonds, and finishing salt over the top and allow to cool at room temperature.
  • Once the candy has completely cooled, peel it from parchment paper or a silicone mat and break it into pieces.
  • Candy will last for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Notes

When adding the baking soda, it is important to be very careful. The candy will expand very rapidly and can make a mess or burn you if you are not careful. Make sure your saucepan holds at least 3 to 4 quarts.
