Alli's Microwave Cashew Brittle image

I made a version of this as peanut brittle, but had to try it with cashews. Outstanding! So crispy and decadent...P.S. This recipe is made in an 1100-watt microwave. P.S. If you live in an area that has high humidity, this recipe may not work for you; try to make on a day with low humidity.
