How do you make Chocolate Cashew Delights like they sell at Busch Gardens?
I bought Dark Chocolate Cashews at Busch Gardens and they are AMAZING. They look like they are made out of whole cashews with dark chocolate on top with caramel in the middle but Im not sure how to make them.

Chocolate Cashew Brittle
1 1/2 cup roasted cashews – roughly chopped
4 Tb unsalted butter
a pinch of salt
1 Tb pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 Tb corn syrup
1/3 cup of water
Optional:
3/4 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate
Roughly chop roasted cashews.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. If using parchment paper lightly grease it with butter.
Have butter, baking soda, vanilla and salt ready in a bowl and set aside.
In a heavy bottomed pan, bring sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil on high heat. Boil sugar till it turns amber. It took me around 12 – 15 minutes. It will also start to get a little smoky at this point.
Remove pot from heat and stir in the ingredients that was set aside earlier. Stir quickly and add in the chopped nuts. I used my sturdy wooden spoon. Baking soda will make it foamy, so don’t be alarmed!
Pour brittle onto prepared baking sheet and spread out as thinly as you can. Word of caution, DON”T lick the spoon, put it away in the sink..seriously, burnt sugar is VERY hot. If you want chocolate on it, sprinkle 3/4 cup of finely chopped semisweet on the brittle after the brittle is spread out. The hot brittle will melt the chocolate. Wait for 7 minutes and spread out the melted chocolate with a knife or a silicone spatula
This whole cooking process takes only 20 minutes tops. Can’t beat that this time of the year.It makes a wonderful gift and it travels well.
Let it cool completely, break it into shards and enjoy!
