Cayenne-spiked cashew brittle is delicious alongside crunchy chocolate bark.
Ingredients
- 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
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cups Rice Krispies or feuilletine
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °. 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 baking sheet and spread it as thinly as possible. Let cool completely, then break into large shards.
- 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.
- Milk Chocolate Bark: Use milk chocolate instead of dark. Follow the same method: Melt two-thirds of the chocolate to 113 °. Add the remaining chocolate and stir until 80 °. Warm the chocolate to 85 °; fold in the Rice Krispies.
