Instructions
-
Prepare two foil-lined baking sheets by generously buttering the foil and the sides of a large saucepan.

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in the buttered saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
-
Once boiling, blend in 1 cup of butter; stir frequently after the syrup reaches 230 F.
-
When the mixture reaches 280 F, incorporate the cashews.
-
Continue stirring until the candy reaches 300 F (hard-crack stage).
-
Remove from heat, then quickly stir in baking soda until well mixed.
-
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and stretch it thinner using forks as it cools.
-
Once cooled, loosen the brittle, turn it over, break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
