Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut sugar, honey, and coconut oil. Stir gently until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Once the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.
Step 4
Place the raw cashews in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted sweet mixture over the cashews and stir until all the cashews are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cashews cool completely. As they cool, the coating will harden into a candy-like finish.
Step 8
Once fully cooled, break the cashews apart if necessary. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
