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!

Don't be shy if you want to change up the recipe. You could add pretzel bits, dry cereal, different nuts and you could even add marshmallows at the very end as your spooning it out.
