  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

  3. Assemble the rest of the ingredients plus a heatproof spatula near a trivet next to the baking sheet.
  4. When the sugar mixture is hot enough, transfer the pan from the heat to the trivet.
  5. Stir in the rest of the ingredients quickly.
  6. Pour onto the parchment paper.
  7. Flatten out the mixture with the spatula. If you like, shape it into a rectangle.
