Incredibly quick and easy, but absolutely delicious. I have a peanut allergy and absolutely loved this cashew brittle. You'll want to make it again and again.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ tablespoons butter, or as needed
2 cups white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 cups unsalted cashews, a mixture of whole and chopped
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons butter all over a rimmed baking sheet until heavily coated.

This cashew brittle is the best I've ever had! It's so easy to make and it tastes amazing. I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for and it was still plenty sweet. The cashews are roasted to perfection and the brittle is nice and crispy.
