Homemade Cashew Crunch
yield: 24 SERVINGS
Make this easy cashew crunch toffee for your next gathering, it's a delicious sweet treat! Recipe slightly adapted from allrecipes.online, 24 Servings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 10 oz. Cashews
Directions
1
Grease a largeΒ baking sheet with butter and set aside.
2
In a saucepan on the stove, melt butter, sugar, and corn syrup together on medium heat. Stir to onlinebine.
3
Turn heat up a little to med/high and add cashews. Use a nonstick silicone spatula or wood spoon to stir frequently.
4
You'll see the mixture start to bubble and cook. Make sure to stir frequently so it does NOT burn.
5
Keep stirring and cooking to heat to 300 degrees using a candy thermometer. Or you can do what I did and keep a bowl of cold water next to stove. Drop a small amount of syrup in and if it immediately turns solid and hard, it's ready. You're looking for a medium brown color, not super dark or it may be burning.
6
Pour mixture onto the greased baking sheet and spread as thin as possible very quickly. It will start to harden right away.
7
Let cool and then break into pieces.
8
Store in airtight container.

Did you know I have my fair share of kitchen fails?
In fact, I had a major Cashew Crunch FAIL while testing a different microwave recipe! It onlinepletely burned! LOL. So I definitely reonlinemend the stove method where you can watch and stir frequently to avoid burning and ruining perfectly good cashews! 😊
