Cashew-Nut Brittle
1 1/2 c roasted unsalted cashews (or peanuts)
(if you only have salted cashews, as I did, rinse
them in a colander and dry them with a paper
towel.)
1/2 c light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
Line baking sheet or shallow baking pan with foil.
Butter foil and metal spatula; set aside.
Combine nuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a 6-cup
microwave-safe bowl. Cook, uncovered, 4 minutes on
High; stir well and cook 4 minutes longer on High.
Mixture will be boiling.
Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave on High 2
minutes. Add baking soda and stir until light and
foamy. Quickly pour into prepared pan. Spread to
about 1/4 inch thickness with spatula.
Let cool, then break into pieces. Store in airtight
container. (I wrapped the pieces in plastic wrap.)
Makes 1 pound.
