SHORECOOK'S CASHEW BRITTLE
Through the years I have always made peanut brittle, but when my hubby could no longer have peanuts, I replaced them with cashews. This is one of my biggest requests at Christmas. It makes a nice thank-you gift as well and is a hit at bake sales.

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.

CASHEW-CINNAMON BRITTLE
Steps:
- Using vegetable oil, generously oil a sheet pan (preferably one with sides), at least 11 by 17 inches. In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer to test it, boil the mixture until it reaches 350 degrees, or is amber-colored. Remove from the heat and, working quickly, whisk in the cinnamon. Whisk in the butter, cashews, and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the oiled pan and spread it out a bit with a wooden spoon, to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Don't spread it too thinly. Let harden, uncovered, in a cool place, 30 to 45 minutes. (To wash the saucepan, soak it overnight.) Using your hands, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

SPICED CASHEW-COCONUT BRITTLE
Flavored with black pepper, cinnamon, and coconut, this cashew brittle shatters lightly when you bite into it, thanks to baking soda, which unleashes tiny air bubbles as it cooks. It's also open to improvisation: You can swap in popcorn and peanuts, dip it in tempered chocolate, or sprinkle it with flaky sea salt.

Steps:
- Spray a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Spray an offset or other metal spatula. Stir together baking soda, cinnamon, and pepper. Combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture is golden, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in cashews and coconut; remove from heat. Carefully stir in baking-soda mixture (it will foam up in pan), then pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread into an even layer with spatula. Let cool and harden completely, at least 30 minutes. Break into pieces; store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CASHEW BRITTLE
This is my version of See's White Chocolate Cashew Brittle (since I refuse to pay money for their original one!). It is very similar, although not quite as pretty as their finished product. I usually triple the recipe as I have larger baking sheets with sides (13x18). The shattered smaller pieces make for great additions to brownies and sprinkled over sundaes. Keep in mind during the cooking process, you'll be tempted to speed things up by increasing the temperature...just tell yourself "no". Keep it at medium heat and make "It's worth it" your mantra. It usually takes about 45 minutes to complete the cooking process.

- Continue stirring until mixture reaches the hard crack stage, stirring constantly (approximately 45 minutes).
- Pour over nuts & coconut and making sure mixture is disbursed evenly (you may tilt slightly while candy is still liquid to achieve this).
- Let sit for about an hour.
- Microwave about 3 chunks of the white chocolate almond bark for about a minute, stir to check consistency and return to microwave for about 15 seconds each time until smooth and spreadable.
- Once white chocolate mixture is smooth, spread over the top of candy's surface so it is completely covered.
- Once cooled, use a very sharp french knife and cut into 1" squares.
