WHITE CHOCOLATE CASHEW BRITTLE



White Chocolate Cashew Brittle image

This is my version of See's White Chocolate Cashew Brittle (since I refuse to pay money for their original one!). It is very similar, although not quite as pretty as their finished product. I usually triple the recipe as I have larger baking sheets with sides (13x18). The shattered smaller pieces make for great additions to brownies and sprinkled over sundaes. Keep in mind during the cooking process, you'll be tempted to speed things up by increasing the temperature...just tell yourself "no". Keep it at medium heat and make "It's worth it" your mantra. It usually takes about 45 minutes to complete the cooking process.

Time 3h9m

Yield 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 cup cashews, chopped
1/3 cup coconut
6 ounces white almond bark

Steps:

  • Using the broil setting, toast the coconut on a flat cookie sheet make sure it is well spread out.
  • This only takes a few minutes and will burn if left unattended.
  • Chop the cashews and spread evenly over the bottom of an ungreased 9x9" baking pan that has sides; sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the nuts.
  • Combine the butter, sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan.
  • Stir over medium heat until ingredients are combined.
  • Continue stirring until mixture reaches the hard crack stage, stirring constantly (approximately 45 minutes).
  • Pour over nuts & coconut and making sure mixture is disbursed evenly (you may tilt slightly while candy is still liquid to achieve this).
  • Let sit for about an hour.
  • Microwave about 3 chunks of the white chocolate almond bark for about a minute, stir to check consistency and return to microwave for about 15 seconds each time until smooth and spreadable.
  • Once white chocolate mixture is smooth, spread over the top of candy's surface so it is completely covered.
  • Once cooled, use a very sharp french knife and cut into 1" squares.

SHORECOOK'S CASHEW BRITTLE



Shorecook's Cashew Brittle image

Through the years I have always made peanut brittle, but when my hubby could no longer have peanuts, I replaced them with cashews. This is one of my biggest requests at Christmas. It makes a nice thank-you gift as well and is a hit at bake sales.

SPICED CASHEW-COCONUT BRITTLE



Spiced Cashew-Coconut Brittle image

Flavored with black pepper, cinnamon, and coconut, this cashew brittle shatters lightly when you bite into it, thanks to baking soda, which unleashes tiny air bubbles as it cooks. It's also open to improvisation: You can swap in popcorn and peanuts, dip it in tempered chocolate, or sprinkle it with flaky sea salt.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable-oil cooking spray, for sheet and spatula
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups roasted unsalted cashews
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Spray an offset or other metal spatula. Stir together baking soda, cinnamon, and pepper. Combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes.
