I love nuts! I'm fairly certain that they are not the healthiest snack but they just worry me less than anything that is deep fried and they are natural so if I have to have a savoury snack, I do tend to eat these.
However, at the moment, I need sugar. I rarely eat sugar unless well, lets just say that I am going to get emotional at Dulux adverts for the next week and if you are a boy, no matter what you say, you are wrong very very wrong! Grovel - you bastard!
So today, I through I would try for something different and I came up with chilli toffee cashews. First, grab about 100 - 150g of demerera sugar. Add a little oil to a pan then pop the sugar in and heat. After about a minute, add about half a cup of water.
This should - if the temperature is right - turn the sugar into caramel! Then add the nuts and - wait for it - two teaspoons of Chinese chopped chillis in oil. I like it hot but if you don't you may wish to reduce the amount of chilli.
Let it cook for about a minute and stir with a wooden spoon. Ensuring that all the nuts are covered. Grease a tin with a little oil and then pour the mixture into this and pop in the fridge (ideally on a bowl) so you don't crack your fridge shelf.
Cool for 15 to 20 minutes then break up into a bowl and enjoy!
