List of Ingredients




2 C. granulated sugar
1 C. white Karo syrup (light corn syrup)
1/2 C. water
1 tablespoon butter
2 C. raw cashew bits
1/2 C. large flaked coconut
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda

Recipe



Combine sugar, Karo syrup, water and butter in 2-quart glass container; microwave on Full power for 17 to 18 minutes, until mixture reaches 270¼F (hard ball stage). Remove from oven and add the raw cashew bits. Return to oven and cook 5 to 6 minutes longer, until mixture reaches 300¼F (brittle stage).

Stir in coconut, vanilla extract and baking soda. This temperature is very important as the brittle will remain sticky if this temperature is not reached. Pour onto butter platter, working quickly. Cool partially by lifting edges with spatula so mixture won't stick. When firm, but still warm, turn over. Pull as thin as desired. When cool, break into pieces and store in airtight container. Makes 2 pounds.
