Cashew Brittle

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 1/2 cups roasted and salted cashews
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Put the heat on medium-high for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in cashews and butter. 

Continue cooking while stirring for 30-60 seconds more, or until the mixture turns light amber in color.

Quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla until mixture becomes light and foamy, then immediately pour onto a greased baking sheet. 

Using a metal spatula, quickly spread mixture out (to about a 1/2-inch thickness). 

Refrigerate for about 20 minutes or until set. 

Break into individual pieces, then store in an air-tight container.
