Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings ½ cup butter or margarine 1 ¼ teaspoons Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt, divided 1 cup sugar ¼ cup water ¾ cup coarsely chopped cashews, divided ¾ cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate Directions Butter the top edges of a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole. Add butter, 1 teaspoon of the Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt, sugar, and water to the casserole. DO NOT STIR. Microwave on high for 6 to 8 minutes. Check contents for color change. Continue microwaving on high a minute at a time until the mixture just begins to turn a tan color. You need to watch it carefully, and remember: DON'T STIR. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the chopped cashews into a 9-into circle on a Silpat mat, parchment paper, or on a buttered baking sheet. Carefully pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the cashews. Immediately sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 1 minute to melt the chocolate. Use spatula to smooth out chocolate over the entire sheet of candy. Sprinkle the remaining cashews and 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt over the top. Refrigerate to cool completely. When cool, break into bite-sized pieces. Store tightly covered in refrigerator. Tips If the butter releases from the toffee, it probably cooked a bit too long. When it happens I just tilt the pan so that the butter runs away from the toffee before it cools. Works well with other nuts and chocolate combinations also. I Made It Print 85 home cooks made it!
