Directions
Spiced Candied Cashews, Taken from 5 Ingredient Fix these things are soooo good They have such a nice warm flavor Good for Thanksgiving fall or winter snacking , These are some beautiful nuts, perfect for sharing, and almost like the ones from the fair! I especially love the warmth from the cardamom; everyone will be trying to identify that flavor I tried to find raw cashews, but didn’t have any luck I eventually used regular cashews, cooking the syrup for the first 10-12 minutes, before adding the cashews This worked out great and the nuts were not overcooked Thanks so much for sharing, M Flaherty!
