Easy Microwave Cashew Brittle

I think this is the busiest that I have EVER been over the holidays! I always have something going. It has been exhausting to say the least and I even fell asleep at the computer last night. Today has been just as busy but my son wanted to go on a date with me to see The Hobbit. I always try to put my family first despite all of life demands so I agreed to take him. I got out of my yoga pants and wore something nice and even curled my hair! I was hoping to sneak in a nap during the movie but I actually loved it! We had so much fun together and it was great having one on one time. It makes writing this post late at night now quite as bad. 😉 With life as crazy as it is I have been all about quick and easy treats that look like I spent all day in the kitchen. This brittle was made right in the microwave and I couldn’t believe how easy it was. It tasted just like I slaved hours over the stove making this with a candy thermometer. Nobody would ever know!

You can substitute this recipe with peanuts of course, but I am obsessed with cashews. I couldn’t stop munching on this as soon as it cooled and everyone loved it! Recipe from Kraft
