Servings: persons

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups salted mixed cocktail nuts
3/4 cup dried apple rings, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup caramels, each cut into quarters
1 cup popped kettle or caramel corn
2 tablespoons roasted and salted pepitas or sunflower seeds

1
Line a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or heavy-duty foil lengthwise with one sheet, then crosswise with a second sheet to create a sling; grease with butter.
2
Combine nuts, chopped apples, sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne in large heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring with wooden mixing spoon, until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and boil, stirring frequently (to prevent nuts and apples from sticking and scorching), until mixture is thick and deep amber and temperature reads 295u00b0F on candy thermometer, 8 to 12 minutes.
3
Remove from heat and immediately stir in baking soda and salt. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and quickly spread into even layer.
4
Sprinkle hot brittle with caramel and chocolate chips and let rest until chips melt, about 3 minutes. Swirl chocolate in even layer with back of soup spoon and sprinkle with kettle corn and pepitas.
5
Refrigerated brittle until cool and hardened and chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Pull brittle out onto work surface with help of sling, and using a meat mallet or other blunt object, break brittle into pieces and serve.
