Microwave Cashew Brittle

Easy buttery cashew brittle made in the microwave in just about 10 minutes. Every time I make this it disappears very fast. Warning: once you start you can't stop.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
• 2 cups salted roasted cashews
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon butter flavoring
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps

1. Lightly butter a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon butter.
2. Mix cashews, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove, stir, and microwave for another 3 minutes. Remove and add 1 tablespoon butter, vanilla extract, and butter flavoring; stir to combine. Microwave for 2 minutes.
3. Remove from the microwave and add baking soda; stir and fold until mixture is fluffy. Work quickly and spread mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Let it sit until completely cooled. Break into pieces and keep in a airtight bag or container.
