Cashew Nut Brittle

Directions

1. 1
   Place the salt block in the refrigerator and chill for at least an hour.
2. 2
   Once the block is totally cold, spray it with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside as you make your caramel.
3. 3
   Place the sugar in a medium saucepot and set over medium-high heat.
4. 4
   Let the sugar melt completely and become a deep amber color, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. 5
   Once the sugar is caramel in color, add in the corn syrup and baking soda.
6. 6
   At this point, the mixture will bubble up the sides of the pot, so use caution and keep stirring.
7. 7
   Immediately add the nuts and then pour the mixture onto the salt block.
8. 8
   Let it cool and set completely.
9. 9
   Once cool, the brittle can be lifted with a spatula and broken into pieces.
