Steps:
- Generously butter or grease a large baking sheet, and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, salt and corn syrup. Cook, stirring until butter is melted. Stir in the cashews, and increase the heat to high. Heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), 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 a greased baking sheet, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container lined with waxed paper.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Unsalted Butter: Unsalted butter is the best choice for this recipe because it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If you use salted butter, you may end up with a dish that is too salty.
- Toast the Cashews: Toasting the cashews before adding them to the mix will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use Fresh Cayenne Pepper: Fresh cayenne pepper will give you the best flavor in this recipe. If you don't have fresh cayenne pepper, you can use ground cayenne pepper, but be sure to use less of it since it is more concentrated.
- Don't Overcook the Mixture: The mixture should be cooked until it is just starting to caramelize. If you overcook it, the mixture will become too hard and brittle.
- Let the Mixture Cool Completely: Once the mixture is cooked, let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent the mixture from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Buttery Cayenne Cashew Crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The cayenne pepper gives the mixture a slight kick, while the cashews add a crunchy texture. This snack is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
