I like this quick-and-easy recipe because it doesn't require a candy thermometer, explains Rhonda Glenn from her Prince Frederick, Maryland home. It also makes a great gift. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1 to 1-1/2 cups salted cashew halves |
1 teaspoon butter |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes; stir. Heat 2 minutes longer. Stir in cashews and butter. Microwave on high for 20-50 seconds or until mixture turns a light amber (mixture will be very hot).
2. Quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla until light and foamy. Immediately pour onto a greased baking sheet and spread with a metal spatula. Chill for 20 minutes or until set; break into small pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3/4 pound.
