Cashew Brittle recipe

For those who've asked... here's the cashew brittle recipe from Liz's on Saturday.  Note that you can use peanuts or almonds, just as well... if possible, sub peanut butter for the cashew butter if you're using peanuts, or almond butter if using almonds... or go with the "blended nut" taste and use whatever you've got on hand.

One other note - when melting your chocolate in the microwave, if you want a nice "crispy" coating, heat the chocolate only to 89 degrees - heat in 15 - 20 second increments, stirring in between.  I overheated my chocolate, so while it did 'set' it didn't get that nice hard coating to it.  That's really the hardest part of the whole recipe!

tried this today with peanuts.   (sin Chocolate)... mmmmm very good.  Made little bitty pieces for me cause this could be dangerous.  :-)

Yep - itty bitty pieces are the key... that and taking the batch to a large group of people so THEY eat it instead of you!  haha.
