In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches 250°F on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the mixed nuts, vanilla extract, and butter until well combined.
Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the candy to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Variations & Tips
For a different twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the candy mixture for a warm, spiced flavor. You can also experiment with different types of nuts, such as hazelnuts or macadamia nuts, to create your own unique blend. If you prefer a softer texture, reduce the cooking temperature slightly to achieve a chewier consistency. Remember to store the candy in an airtight container to keep it fresh and delicious.
