Categories     Candy     Cashew     Raw

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Line a nonstick sheet pan with parchment or a silicone mat, and set aside.
  • Heat the corn syrup, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Cook until the temperature reaches 310 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Once the mixture reaches 310 degrees F, remove from the stove; quickly add the baking soda, cashews, and butter, and keep stirring constantly. The mixture will stay opaque.
  • Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the mat-or parchment-covered sheet pan, and spread across the pan with wooden spoon. Cool for 1 1/2 hours. Break into 2-inch pieces.
  • note
  • A silicone mat works best to avoid a sticky clean-up; do not use waxed paper, which will melt and stick under the heat of the candy.
