Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a large saucepan. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 285°, 16 to ⏱️ 18 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cashews, pecans, peanuts, almonds, and kosher salt. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture registers 300°, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove from heat and remove the candy thermometer from the pan. Add butter, baking soda and vanilla, and stir until mixture is evenly foamy. (The mixture will bubble up!) Immediately pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread into a thin sheet. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt to taste.
