SPICED CASHEW BRITTLE & CHOCOLATE CRUNCH BARK RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Spiced Cashew Brittle & Chocolate Crunch Bark Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 11

BRITTLE:
1 1/2 cups whole raw cashews
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
BARK:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies or feuilletine

Steps:

  • Brittle: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread the cashews on a small baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, stirring once. Keep the cashews warm. Line a rimmed baking sheet with buttered parchment paper. In a saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup, butter and water to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until a deep amber toffee forms, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the baking soda and cayenne; it will bubble up. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the warm cashews. Pour the hot candy onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it as thinly as possible. Let cool completely, then break into large shards. Bark: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt two-thirds of the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate reaches 130°. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate until melted and the temperature drops to 85°. Return the bowl to the saucepan and warm the chocolate to 90°, stirring. Remove from the heat. Fold in the Rice Krispies. Spread the mixture on the parchment in a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Let harden completely, then break into large shards.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best results. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate. Overheated chocolate can become thick and grainy.
  • Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Add the cashews and peanuts to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly coated.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into a prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
  • Refrigerate the chocolate bark for at least 30 minutes, or until it is firm.
  • Break the chocolate bark into pieces and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Cashew bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious snack that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give cashew bark a try. You won't be disappointed!
