SHORECOOK'S CASHEW BRITTLE
Through the years I have always made peanut brittle, but when my hubby could no longer have peanuts, I replaced them with cashews. This is one of my biggest requests at Christmas. It makes a nice thank-you gift as well and is a hit at bake sales.

CASHEW-CINNAMON BRITTLE
Steps:
- Using vegetable oil, generously oil a sheet pan (preferably one with sides), at least 11 by 17 inches. In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer to test it, boil the mixture until it reaches 350 degrees, or is amber-colored. Remove from the heat and, working quickly, whisk in the cinnamon. Whisk in the butter, cashews, and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the oiled pan and spread it out a bit with a wooden spoon, to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Don't spread it too thinly. Let harden, uncovered, in a cool place, 30 to 45 minutes. (To wash the saucepan, soak it overnight.) Using your hands, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

CASHEW BRITTLE
Steps:
- Line a nonstick sheet pan with parchment or a silicone mat, and set aside.
- Heat the corn syrup, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Cook until the temperature reaches 310 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Once the mixture reaches 310 degrees F, remove from the stove; quickly add the baking soda, cashews, and butter, and keep stirring constantly. The mixture will stay opaque.
- Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the mat-or parchment-covered sheet pan, and spread across the pan with wooden spoon. Cool for 1 1/2 hours. Break into 2-inch pieces.
- note
- A silicone mat works best to avoid a sticky clean-up; do not use waxed paper, which will melt and stick under the heat of the candy.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CASHEW BRITTLE
This is my version of See's White Chocolate Cashew Brittle (since I refuse to pay money for their original one!). It is very similar, although not quite as pretty as their finished product. I usually triple the recipe as I have larger baking sheets with sides (13x18). The shattered smaller pieces make for great additions to brownies and sprinkled over sundaes. Keep in mind during the cooking process, you'll be tempted to speed things up by increasing the temperature...just tell yourself "no". Keep it at medium heat and make "It's worth it" your mantra. It usually takes about 45 minutes to complete the cooking process.

Steps:
- Using the broil setting, toast the coconut on a flat cookie sheet make sure it is well spread out.
- This only takes a few minutes and will burn if left unattended.
- Chop the cashews and spread evenly over the bottom of an ungreased 9x9" baking pan that has sides; sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the nuts.
- Combine the butter, sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan.
- Stir over medium heat until ingredients are combined.
- Continue stirring until mixture reaches the hard crack stage, stirring constantly (approximately 45 minutes).
- Pour over nuts & coconut and making sure mixture is disbursed evenly (you may tilt slightly while candy is still liquid to achieve this).
- Let sit for about an hour.
- Microwave about 3 chunks of the white chocolate almond bark for about a minute, stir to check consistency and return to microwave for about 15 seconds each time until smooth and spreadable.
- Once white chocolate mixture is smooth, spread over the top of candy's surface so it is completely covered.
- Once cooled, use a very sharp french knife and cut into 1" squares.
