Ingredients

25 servings

•

2 teaspoons butter, or as needed
•

1.5 cups white sugar
•

2 tablespoons water
•

1 (10 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

•

0.5 cup finely chopped cashew nuts
•

2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Grease a square 9-inch baking pan with 2 teaspoons butter.
Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour in sweetened condensed milk; cook and stir until mixture starts to bubble, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add cashews; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
Stir 2 tablespoons butter, vanilla, and rose extract into the mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is very stiff, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour into the buttered baking pan. Spread flat using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cool toffee until firm, about 15 minutes. Cut into 1-inch pieces and transfer to an airtight container.
