Nat's Buttery Cashew Crunch

Doubled the recipe, and pour into generously buttered 11x16 cookie tray. Through multiple attempts, realized it's quite important to bring to temp, under medium heat, and to stir as often as possible, especially as it gets closer to that "hard crack" temp... ...so far, tried as my mix ins - cashews; cocktail peanuts; WM Cajun Trl Mix; macadamia nuts - all with great feedback, with many a variation on not being able to stay away from it... ...I've also modified further, with chocolate or dark chocolate drizzle, after melting, or spreading the chips over the tray before pouring, and adding a bunch after the pour... ...the Cashew Butter Crunch (aka "adult candy crack" by more than a few) has been the most popular, and of the "variations" I've tried, around the holidays, this recipe, but using macadamia nuts, dark chocolate, and toasted coconut has been very well received. Thx so much, Miss Natalie, for sharing! :)

It was absolutely amazing, I made it with fresh pecans… This is going to be my new go to.

This was my first time making any kind of brittle or crunch or candy, so I made it exactly as the recipe indicated. I had trouble stirring and seeing the line on my candy thermometer and holding the pan still, so I let the nuts get too brown - totally my fault, not the recipe. It tastes a little toasty because of that, but still - the texture is great, and if not for the toastiness, I’d call it perfect. I’ll try it again and I’m sure it will be fantastic.

Very simple easy way to teach my daughter to make her first brittle

The flavor was great but it was a little thicker than I prefer. I did not have a candy thermometer so perhaps I did not cook it long enough.
