Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon curry powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
Coarse salt
2 cups unsalted roasted cashews (9 ounces)
1/2 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in curry powder, and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in sugar, water, honey, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. (Mixture will resemble wet sand.) Add cashews, and toss to coat using a rubber spatula.
  • Transfer cashew mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and spread into a single layer using rubber spatula. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and sprinkle with coconut. Bake until cashews and coconut are golden, 6 to 7 minutes more.
  • Transfer sheet to a wire rack. Stir nuts, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.
