CARAMEL CASHEW CLUSTERS



Caramel Cashew Clusters image

Caramel Cashew Clusters make the perfect gift for any cashew lover! Chewy homemade caramel, salted cashews and white chocolate create a gourmet treat that you can make at home!

Provided by Janelle

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup white Karo syrup
3 cups heavy whipping cream
Candy thermometer or digital thermometer. I prefer a digital meat thermometer.
3 cups whole cashews
16 ounces white melting chocolate

Steps:

  • This recipe works best with a silicone baking mat, silpat or non-stick foil. DO NOT USE WAX PAPER.
  • Line a table or counter with baking mats or non-stick foil (non-stick side up).
  • Place approximately 40 clusters of cashes all over baking mat or foil in round mounds. I had 6 cashews per mound, close together.
  • In a LARGE pot mix sugar, salt, corn syrup and whipping cream.
  • Clip a candy thermometer onto the pan if your pan allows. If not, you'll have to check the temperature regularly with your thermometer then rinse it off after each time.
  • Cook caramel mixture over medium heat (I like to cook mine at a 7.5 level on my stove) until caramel reaches 241*F. Caramel should cook at a heavy simmer / boil and will double, if not triple, in volume from the bubbles.
  • Stir caramel mixture every few minutes to prevent from scorching the bottom of the caramel.
  • The mixture will come to 218*F pretty quickly, so don't panic. Between 218*F - 241*F will take a little while.
  • As you cook and stir, the caramel will start off white, then a light caramel then eventually a rich caramel color.
  • Once caramel reaches 241*F, remove from stove.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop out 1-2 Tablespoons of caramel and pour over each pile of cashews.
  • Allow to cool completely. Gently pick up one cashew mound and fold caramel edges under cluster.
  • Melt white chocolate according to package directions an dip clusters into chocolate then replace on baking mat or non-stick foil to dry.
  • Place in cute jars or bags and give away to friends and family (or eat them all yourself!)
