If you decide to try the baking soda version you will also need:

Instructions
This is the version without baking soda. For that version substitute step 3 in the notes for the step 3 here.
Butter a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Stir together sugar, water and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved.
Continue cooking without stirring until mixture turns golden amber and temperature is approximately 330 F.
Remove pan from heat. Stir in nuts. Immediately pour mixture onto buttered baking sheet.
Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
Notes
Alternative Step 3--If you prefer the baking soda version, substitute the following for step 3 above:Remove pan from heat. Stir in nuts. Place back on heat very briefly until mixture is more liquid again (nuts will cool it down). Stir in butter and baking soda (mixture will foam up), then pour out onto buttered baking sheet. Cool as indicated in step 4.
