A buttery sweet nut brittle candy with a mild heat after the sweet. Not as hard as many brittles, it's very easy on the teeth. Got this from a magazine (can't remember which one). Made it for xmas gifts and it was a big hit. Mmmm, sweet and spicy buttery goodness... Ingredients:
2 cups whole salted cashews |
10 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or 1 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Butter a non-stick baking sheet.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large non-stick skillet.
3. Stir over low heat until butter melts and sugars dissolve.
4. Increase heat to medium and boil, stirring constantly until mixture turns golden brown, thickens, and begins to mass together (foams), about 5 minutes.
5. Immediately pour out onto prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly.
6. Cool completely. Break into pieces.
