Steps:
- Heat oven to 200°F. Grease 2 large cookie sheets with butter; keep warm in oven. (Keeping the cookie sheets warm allows the candy to be spread 1/4 inch thick without it setting up.) Grease long metal spatula with butter; set aside.
- In small bowl, mix baking soda, 1 teaspoon water and the vanilla; set aside. In 3-quart saucepan, mix sugar, 1 cup water and the corn syrup. Cook over medium heat about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to 240°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water.
- Stir in butter and cashews. Cook about 13 minutes, stirring constantly, to 300°F or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.) Immediately remove from heat. Quickly stir in baking soda mixture until light and foamy.
- Pour half of candy mixture onto each cookie sheet and quickly spread about 1/4 inch thick with buttered spatula. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use a heavy saucepan. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sugar from burning.
- Use a candy thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
- Be patient. Making cashew brittle takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a sticky mess.
- Work quickly. Once the sugar reaches the correct temperature, you need to work quickly to add the cashews and vanilla extract and pour the brittle onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent the brittle from sticking to itself.
Conclusion:
Cashew brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy snack that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're giving it as a gift or enjoying it yourself, cashew brittle is sure to be a hit.
