Ingredients:

Serving

2 tablespons plus 1 cup butter, divided
2 cups cashew halves
2 cups flaked coconut
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup plus 1 tsp water, divided
2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions:

Butter two 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pans with 1 tablespoon butter each; set aside.
Combine cashews and coconut on a third 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Add remaining butter; cook and stir until butter is melted. Continue cooking, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage).
Meanwhile, combine the vanilla, baking soda and remaining water. Remove saucepan from the heat; add cashews and coconut. Add baking soda mixture; stir until light and foamy. Quickly pour onto prepared baking sheets. Spread with a buttered metal spatula to 1/4-in. thickness. Cool before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 3 pounds.
