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.

Time 3h50m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds (8 large pieces)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for the baking sheet
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
3 cups roasted salted cashews, 1 cup chopped
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
One 11-ounce bag white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon torn dried arbol chiles (from about 5 chiles)
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns

Steps:

  • Butter a baking sheet and set aside. Bring the sugar, dark corn syrup and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until a candy thermometer registers 260 degrees F. Stir in the butter and all the cashews and continue to cook until the cashews are well coated and not clumpy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the baking soda and five-spice powder. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer. Let cool for 15 minutes, then top with the white chocolate and let sit until the chips are soft and spreadable. Spread into a smooth layer.
  • Put the chiles and peppercorns into a small skillet over medium heat and toast until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle evenly over the white chocolate and let set completely, about 3 hours, then break into pieces.
