Quick and simple microwave cashew brittle - perfect holiday treat for gifting!
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1.5 cups salted cashews
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
Instructions:
  • Butter the baking sheet generously with a luxurious coating of 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix cashews, sugar, and corn syrup. Microwave on high for about 6 1/2 minutes or until sugar is melted and mixture is hot.
  • Incorporate the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and vanilla extract into the cashew mixture. Microwave for another 2 1/2 minutes until hot. Mix in the baking soda until the mixture is light and foamy.
  • Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a buttered silicone spatula if necessary. Allow it to cool and set for around 30 minutes, then break it into pieces.
