Sesame-Nut Crunch Recipe

Sesame-Nut Crunch Recipe

  • 1/2 cup Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter, Unsalted
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups hulled salted roasted peanuts
  • 2 1/2 cups salted roasted cashews
  • 1/2 cup hulled salted roasted sunflower seed
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seed
  1. Butter a sheet of foil, about 12 by 17 inches.
  2. In a nonstick 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, frequently stir 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cayenne, and salt until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add peanuts, cashews, sunflower seed, and sesame seed. Turn heat to high and stir until mixture is very thick and nuts begin to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
  4. Immediately pour mixture onto buttered foil, spreading as thinly as possible with back of a spoon. Cool until mixture is lukewarm, about 15 minutes.
  5. With your hands, release brittle from foil, then pull or break it into bite-size pieces. When cool, immediately store airtight (otherwise, the coating absorbs moisture and gets sticky).
