Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole raw cashews
• 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the erythritol sweetener, water, and butter. Stir until the butter has melted completely and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 3

Add the raw cashews to the saucepan, stirring to coat them evenly with the sweetener mixture.

Step 4

Continue to cook the cashews in the saucepan, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the liquid has thickened and the cashews are well-coated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until everything is well combined.

Step 6

Spread the coated cashews evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not clumped together.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure they are not burning.

Step 8

Once the cashews are golden and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 9

As they cool, the coating will harden, creating a crunchy layer around the cashews.

Step 10

Once fully cooled, break apart any cashews that are stuck together, and store them in an airtight container.
