Cashew Brittle
April 15, 2010 Jamie
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup salted cashew halves
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a bowl, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Microwave this on high for four minutes and stir. Heat it for another three minutes. Stir in the cashews and butter. Microwave this combination for 30-60 seconds until the mixture turns a light amber color. Quickly stir in the baking soda and vanilla until it is light and foamy. Immediately pour this onto a greased baking sheet and spread it with a metal spatula. Let it chill for 20 minutes or until it is set. Then you may break it into smaller pieces and store it in an airtight container.
