How to Make White Chocolate Cashew Brittle

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat. Do not stir.
Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Patience is key!
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter and vanilla extract until melted and combined.
Stir in the chopped cashews and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (13x18 inch recommended) and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Let the brittle cool completely at room temperature (at least 2-3 hours, preferably longer) before breaking into pieces.
Once completely cooled, break the brittle into irregular pieces of your desired size. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
