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!)

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield Makes 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 cups popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels)
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped cashews
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 ounces white chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place popcorn and nuts in a large bowl. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in corn syrup, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until sugar dissolves, stirring once or twice. Raise heat to high, and bring to a boil (do not stir). Boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 248 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda.
  • Pour caramel over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat thoroughly. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets, spreading in a single layer. Bake 45 minutes, stirring twice. Test doneness by removing a few pieces of popcorn from oven; if they crisp within 1 minute, popcorn is ready. Remove from oven, and immediately sprinkle with remaining salt. Let cool completely.
  • Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted and completely smooth. Fill a small resealable plastic bag with chocolate, and snip a tiny hole in 1 corner. Drizzle chocolate over caramel corn. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes, before breaking up.
