Slow Cooker Cashew Candy Clusters

It’s that time of year, where we need gifts for our friends, neighbors and Aunt Betty. What could be better than chocolate and yummy cashews?   I adapted this from various recipes all using peanuts. I find peanuts inferior nuts compared to cashews so did a bit of changing, and it turned out great. This has been dubbed Trisha Yearwood’s crockpot candy, although remembering eating something similar a good 30 years ago (the only difference I remember is my mom poured it all onto wax paper), I figure we’ve all had some form of this throughout the years.

I hope you enjoy!
