Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Yield 2 lbs

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups roasted salted cashew nuts (if using unsalted cashew nuts, add 1/8 tsp. salt with the sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Using butter, generously grease a sheet pan (preferably one with sides), at least 11 x 17 inches (or use a SILPAT®).
  • Mix together cinnamon and baking soda; set aside.
  • In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer to test it, boil the mixture until it reaches 350°F
  • Remove from the heat and, working quickly, whisk in the cinnamon and baking soda mixture, butter and cashews.
  • Pour the mixture onto the oiled pan and spread it out a bit with buttered metal spoon or a wooden spoon to about 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness. Don't spread it too thin. Let cool and harden, uncovered, 30-45 minutes. Using your hands, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
  • Tip: To wash the saucepan, fill it with water and let it soak overnight.

I'm allergic to cashews, so I'm going to have to find a substitute.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my brittle turned out too hard. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This brittle is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still good.

This brittle is so easy to make and it turned out perfectly! I love the combination of cashew and cinnamon, it's the perfect balance of sweet and nutty.
