 Now this one is one my request list every year- people love this brittle and it's really easy to make. This one comes from my Mrs Fields Cookie Book:

Macadamia Nut Brittle

1 1/2 cups (9oz) whole macadamia nuts
6 Tablespoons salted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish (ok - the size isn't that important-but glass is. The smaller the baking dish-the thicker the brittle) Equally distribute macadamia nute over bottom of dish Set aside/

In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, combine butter, sugar & water.
Place over medium heat & stir with a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves. Let pan stand covered for 2 minutes.

Uncover pan & increase heat to high. Continue cooking without stirring until mixture begins to turn a golden brown.
Quickly remove from heat; stir in baking soda & vanilla extract.
Pour immediately over macadamia nutes in prepared baking dish.
Spread with a wodden spoon.

Cool to room temperature. Break into irregular-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container.
