Cashew Brittle By: Patrick I.

Recipe Story

After several guests of our annual holiday treats gathering were unable to enjoy our homemade peanut brittle due to nut allergies, replacing the peanuts with cashews seemed to make sense. The result was no leftover brittle, so it seemed to go over well.

  • 1/2 c water
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 c sugar
  • 2 c cashew pieces
