Chocolate Cashew Clusters
This is the perfect homemade hack for Costco’s Kirkland brand cashew clusters (and to be honest, they taste even better)! This tasty candy comes with a holiday twist if you add sprinkles but can be made year-round without! All the crunch and texture of a Christmas chocolate cookie but zero baking! Did we also mention that cashews have a healthy dose of nutrition? Chocolate cashew clusters will be the star of any Christmas cookie exchange because they are so unique!
Ingredients and Variations
CHOCOLATE Use easily meltable almond and chocolate bark, plus chocolate chips. CASHEWS Cashews are called for in this recipe, but any assortment of nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts will taste great! PRO TIP: Toast nuts in a sauté pan for extra crunch and flavor! VARIATIONS For a festive flair, add some chopped dried cranberry, and don’t forget the red and green sprinkles or nonpareils! We also like to use melted caramels for an extra fun twist!
How to Make Cashew Clusters
Chocolate covered cashews have never been easier.
Tips
For faster cooling, put the sheet pan in the refrigerator or the freezer. Store cashew clusters by keeping them in a zippered bag at room temperature for about a week. Or, make them ahead and freeze in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside for about a month. Tuck some into a pretty tin for the perfect last-minute gift!
