Instructions
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 cup light corn syrup
2 cups cashews

Generously butter 2 baking sheets. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until mixture reaches 300 degrees (hard-crack stage), stirring occasionally. Stir in nuts and butter. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour onto pans and spread as thinly as possible. When cold, break into pieces and store in decorated, airtight containers.
