Spicy Toffee Coated Cashews

Step 1

Preheat oven at 350°F (180°C). Spread the cashews on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes or until fragrant, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Prepare a baking sheet layered with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a medium, heavy saucepan, melt the sugar, butter, honey, cayenne pepper, and salt over medium heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 4

Once the mixture is smooth, add the toasted cashews to the saucepan and stir until the cashews are well coated. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking and stirring for 5-7 minutes or until the cashews are lightly browned and the mixture has thickened.

Step 5

Pour the hot cashews onto the parchment paper and let it cool completely for about 30 minutes or until hardened.

Step 6

When the toffee has hardened, break it into small pieces using a rolling pin or a food processor.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
