Cashew Crickle is a great treat – tastes like peanut brittle, except it is
made with cashews. I made this for Krista, and she couldn’t get enough of
it (and neither could the rest of the family). This is from Taste of Home.
You’d never know you were on a special diet with this candy.
Cashew Crickle
2 cups sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
3 Tablespoons GFCF margarine
1 teaspoon GFCF vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups salted cashews
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to a boil,
stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring, over
medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 300 degrees F. (hard-crack
stage). Remove from the heat; stir in margarine, vanilla and baking soda.
Add cashews. Pour into a greased 15-inch X 10-inch X 1-inch baking pan.
Cool before breaking into pieces. Yield: about 2 pounds.
