Ingredients

    1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
    1/3 cup granulated sugar
    1 tbsp golden corn syrup
    1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
    3 tbsp water
    2/3 cup toasted hazelnuts
    2/3 cup toasted almonds

Directions

Line a baking sheet with silicone or well-greased parchment (don't try anything else, this stuff STICKS!) and set aside.
In a saucepan, mix the sugars, corn syrup, salt and water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar liquefies.
Once sugar is liquid, stop stirring and cook until the mixture reaches 320F, occasionally swirling the pot to redistribute the sugar.
When the sugar reaches temperature, remove from heat and immediately pour in the nuts.
Stir to coat well and scrape out onto the lined trays. Set aside to cool 3 hours.
