- Spread crushed candies proportionately in a buttered 10 x 15 inch jelly roll pan.
- Butter sides of a heavy 3-qt saucepan or possibly Dutch oven. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in the pan, stirring constantly over medium-low heat till sugar dissolves. Using a pastry brush dipped in warm water, brush andy sugar crystals down on side of pan. Increase heat to medium heat and bring to a boil. Don't stir while syrup is boiling. Continue to cook until syrup reaches hard crack stage (approximately 300 - 310 degrees) and turns light golden brown in color. Test by dropping a bit into ice water. Syrup should form brittle threads, and remain brittle when removed from the water.
- Remove from heat and add in margarine and salt; stir till butter melts. Add in soda and stir until dissolves (mix will foam). Pour syrup over candies.
- Using a buttered spatula, spread syrup to edges of pan. Cold completely.
- Break into pcs. Store in an airtight container.
- YIELD: About 1 1/4 pounds
- NOTES : This is VERY sweet. A lot of the candies won't heat, so there will be a lot of candy rings still left in the brittle. I have
- placed the pan of candies in the oven to heat just a little bit, and the effect is truly more of a "stained glass" look. I even
- tried dividing it up and adding food color to the different parts, and poured it into the pan. Which was a very nice effect,
- especially if you can get it to make a design and put on a glass
- platter with a light source from underneath it.
