This beautifully crisp, white chocolate-covered candied loaf is filled with a wonderfully spicy flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate. Chinese five-spice powder is added directly to the caramel, while crushed Sichuan peppercorns and mild arbol chili are used as a topping. Break the hardened candied loaf into pieces, place them in bags, and give them as gifts to friends.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside. Combine the sugar, dark corn syrup, and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 250°F (126°C). Add the butter and all the cashews and continue cooking until the nuts are well coated, about 3 minutes. Stir in the baking soda and Chinese seasoning. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer. Let cool for 15 minutes, then sprinkle with white chocolate and let stand until the granules are soft and melted. Spread the white chocolate into an even layer.
  2. Place the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns in a small skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the peppercorns evenly over the white chocolate and let set completely, about 3 hours, then break into pieces.
