Buttery Cashew Brittle image

My favorite! This is a wonderful treat for the holidays, and makes a lovely hostess gift as well. You can use peanuts in place of the cashews, if you like.

This is the worst cashew brittle I've ever had. It's dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

This brittle is way too expensive. I can find cheaper and better cashew brittle at the store.

I found this recipe to be a little difficult to follow. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my brittle didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

This brittle is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good.

I'm not a big fan of cashews, but I really enjoyed this brittle. The toffee is so flavorful that it makes up for the fact that I don't love cashews.

I love the addition of salt to this recipe. It really balances out the sweetness of the toffee.

This brittle is so delicious! The cashews are perfectly roasted and the toffee is just the right amount of sweetness.
