Cashew Crunch

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cup roasted cashews

Instructions

In a heavy saucepan, preferably nonstick, bring the honey and lemon juice to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and darkens (be careful not to let it burn), about 15-20 minutes. Pour out onto a nonstick pan, such as a jellyroll pan or a large skillet moistened with cold water and spread to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Let cool completely. When fully hardened, break into small pieces. Makes about 3/4 pound of candy. Store in a tightly sealed tin. Since I adapted this from a recipe for nuant, or walnut brittle, I guess you can use any kind of nuts. You could dip the finished candy in melted chocolate, too.
