Made these last evening & am hoping that we can stay away from them long enough for company to enjoy this coming Saturday evening! Of course, my usual taste-test indicates that these marvelous munchies are just that, marvelous! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe] -
These were simple and tasty. After reading the other reviews, I toasted the nuts separately for a few minutes, and then finished them up on the stove top. It worked pretty well. Nice salty honey flavor. Thanks alligirl for sharing. Made for Football Pool - week 4. Congrats again on your win!! -
These were tasty. Very simple to make too. I did have problems with the carmelized sauce and had to take it out of the oven after 10 minutes so that it didn't burn. I'll probably roast the cashews before coating them in the sauce when I make these in the future. Roasting the cashews on the stove might also work. Thanks! -
Alligirl, these are sooooo awesome! I made these a few weeks ago with the cashews and they turned out great. The only variation I made to your recipe was used Sea Salt. But have to say, today I made these using raw peanuts, (and again, used the sea salt)and OH MY!!!! DH will be taking the whole bag to work tomorrow, I just know it!! Thanks for sharing this recipe! -
These are very addictive yummy little treats!!! They have a really nice honey flavour, which complements the cashews' own taste very well and then there's also the slight saltiness...Mmmmm! This seriously is goodness in a bowl! :) I made half the recipe and it still made a generous batch. I thought this was going to be a rather time-consuming and difficult process, but it was so easy and quick to make that I can see me doing this very often. ;) My only slight problem was that after 6 minutes in the oven some cashews had already turned black. But this can be easily fixed by lowering the oven heat, Im sure. THANKS SO VERY MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us. It will be my go-to recipe for home-made gifts once holiday season is here. Made and reviewed for TYM Tag Game August 09.

Someone special recently gifted me with membership ~ I don't know who, but know they are special :D! Thank you! It is much appreciated....
My parents owned a grocery store when I was growing up, so there's my love of FOOD! My friends all love to drink, so there's my profession! I stopped bartending 5 years ago, when my son was born, but still 'do' private parties. DH and I did a 'Supper Club' for a while, but life kept getting in the way!
I am a SAHM, to a rambunctious 5 y.o....I LOVE cooking and collect cookbooks and anything kitchen related! I'm kinda picky, but will just drop an ingredient or make a sub, so I can still try a recipe.
I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment here, and hope to participate in some events soon!
Thanks to everyone for posting such great recipes, and if you review mine, just know that I appreciate the time and effort involved in the reviewing process!
