Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. (180 C).
- Spread the nuts on a baking tray and toast them in the oven until light golden, 6 to 8 minutes, turning the nuts after 4 minutes so they toast evenly. Remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
- Put the sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the corn syrup and water turn stove to medium heat, stir once to mix, bring to a boil. Continue boiling, undisturbed, until a layer of bubbles forms on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and continue to boil undisturbed for 5 minutes longer. I place a wooden spoon on top of the foil to keep down.
- Remove the foil, add the butter, gently stir with a wooden spoon a few times. When the butter has melted and is combined with the sugar mixture -- and forms a soft boil add your candy thermometer continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 300 degrees (150 C), about 12 - 15 minutes. Meanwhile, coat a 12-by-17-inch (30-by-43-cm) sheet pan with vegetable oil or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- As soon as the sugar mixture reaches the desired temperature, immediately but carefully stir in the combined salt and baking soda, vanilla and Pistachios.
- Using a long metal spatula, spread the nut mixture as thinly and evenly as possible over the prepared pan. Leave the brittle to cool to room temperature. The brittle will harden very quickly.
- When the brittle is completely cooled and hardened, run a clean, dry towel over the brittle's surface to absorb some of the oil. Carefully cut or tap the brittle with a mallet to break it into irregular pieces. Store in one or more airtight containers at cool room temperature.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a piece of foil lightly greased with canola oil spray.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium saucepot fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil without stirring; cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F (the hard-crack stage), 12 to 15 minutes -- the sugar will become deeply caramelized.
- Remove the pot from the heat and carefully add the butter, baking soda, vanilla paste and fennel; the sugar will bubble up and incorporate all the ingredients on its own. With a heatproof rubber spatula, stir in the pistachios and then immediately spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. While the brittle is still hot, zest the orange evenly over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Let the brittle cool completely before breaking into small pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, place the brittle in a zip-close bag, remove any excess air, and freeze for up to 1 month.

- Line the back of a half sheet pan with a silicon mat (such as silpaor parchment paper (if using parchment paper, first spray the surface with non-stick spray — this will help the sheet to adhere to the tray as you pour the caramel). Lay the pan flat on a stable surface (lined side up).
- Heat sugar, syrup, salt and water in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and insert the candy thermometer. Leave mixture to simmer without disturbing until the temperature reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). The mixture should turn a light amber color.
- Remove pot from heat and place on a stable, heat-proof surface. Working quickly, stir in butter, vanilla, baking soda and 1/2 cup of the pistachios. Mixture will foam up - keep stirring. Beginning at one end of the lined pan, pour the caramel evenly onto the mat or paper. Use an offset spatula to smooth it into a solid sheet. Work quickly — the caramel will begin to hard in a matter of minutes. Let stand and cool for at least 15 minutes.
- While the caramel layer is cooling, make the ganache. Heat a small pot of water to a gentle simmer, then place a heat-proof mixing bowl on top of the pot (or use a double boiler). Add the cream and allow to heat (cream will begin to foam or swirl). Add the chocolate, heat briefly, then stir until chocolate and cream are thoroughly combined, smooth and creamy. Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and use an offset spatula to spread and smooth out.
