Thanks for saving me. I had a batch of caramel that didn't quite make it. It would solidify but then, like a non-Newtonian fluid, the minute I cut it, it would slowly ooze into a solid mass again. But there was a can of cashews in the house and this recipe. A lovely soft, velvety texture with just a hint of caramel and the occasional crunch of cashews.

We live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I am an office manager and my DH and I love riding on our Harley! I love to cook and have a large family. I enjoy my family, fellowship with good friends, crocheting, crafts, reading, our Harley! Just getting involved in a new church and looking to what we will be doing there in service. Oh, gosh, if I had month off, I think we would tootle around this great country of ours on our Harley. Never seen the Grand Canyon and would love that... hmmm, wonder who will pay for that!? LOL I love the Taste of Home magazine and my favorite cookbook is Best of Friends, Etc and Best of Friends, Too. Great ones! Along with my dozens of church cookbooks!
