Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Measure all ingredients before starting.
Step 2
In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Bring to a boil without stirring. Cook until mixture turns deep amber and reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Quickly stir in 2 tbsp butter, 1 cup cashews, 1/2 cup walnuts, and 1/2 cup raisins until well coated.
Step 5
Stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda (mixture will foam). Immediately pour onto prepared sheet and spread thinly with a spatula.
Step 6
Let cool completely until hard, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
