Amish Cashew Crunch Recipe

Better than peanut brittle. An Amish friend shared this recipe with me. She says she always has it around at Christmas time and other times for company to snack on.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsps light corn syrup
• 2 cup cashews

Instructions

1. Lightly butter a cookie sheet.
2. In a heavy pan cook and stir the butter, sugar, and corn syrup over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Cook until it starts to turn golden brown (290 degrees F on a candy thermometer) like peanut brittle.
4. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in cashews.
5. Pour the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Cool completely.
6. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
