Buttery Cashew Snack

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buttery Cashew Snack.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven and generously greasing a large baking sheet with butter.

2. Step 2

   This will help your delicious creation come off easily once it’s ready.

3. Step 3

   In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine unsalted butter, white sugar, a pinch of salt, and light corn syrup.

4. Step 4

   Stir the mixture gently until the butter melts completely, creating a smooth blend.

5. Step 5

   Once the butter is melted, it’s time to add the cashews.

6. Step 6

   Increase the heat to high and keep stirring with a long-handled wooden spoon to prevent any burning.

7. Step 7

   You’ll want to cook this mixture until it reaches a temperature of 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C) on a candy thermometer.

8. Step 8

   If you don’t have a thermometer handy, you can drop a small amount of the syrup into cold water; it should form hard, brittle threads when it’s ready.

9. Step 9

   Once your mixture has reached the perfect temperature, carefully pour it onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to create a lovely layer.

10. Step 10

    Let it cool for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set.

    After it’s cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy the delightful crunch of your homemade cashew treat!.
