Nat's Buttery Cashew Crunch

Instructions

• Generously butter or grease a large baking sheet.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Cook and stir until butter is melted. Stir in cashews and increase the heat to high. Cook until mixture reaches 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Stir occasionally with a long-handled wooden spoon so the cashews do not burn.
• Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then break into pieces.
