Description
A delicious and crunchy treat made with cashews coated in a rich butter toffee sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cashews, unsalted
- ½ cup butter (1 stick, unsalted)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the cashews evenly on a baking tray and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
- In a medium saucepan over medium flame, melt the butter and combine it with both sugars and salt.
- Stir constantly until it reaches a gentle boil, then allow it to boil without stirring for around 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda, being cautious as the mixture may bubble.
- Pour the toffee sauce over the toasted cashews on the baking tray and mix well.
- Return the baking tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool completely before breaking apart any clusters.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about one week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Use high-quality cashews for the best flavor.
- Dark brown sugar can add a deeper flavor to the toffee.
- Be cautious when adding baking soda as the mixture may bubble up.
