CARAMEL CASHEW COOKIES FULL

I’ve got to say that it never dawned on me that I’ve never seen a cashew sold in it’s shell.

Through some research I found that the cashew is the only nut sold in stores already shelled. So where did my favorite nut come from and how did it become so popular? Not chewy, hip loving caramels in all their sticky goodness. That’s the month of gym memberships, healthy eating and skinny thoughts. Trust me, no one wants to make or eat Caramels in January. If I don’t get them out now, they have to wait at least until June before I can post the recipes. With Christmas only 2 months away, I will be pushing a lot of caramel candy recipes on you over the next two months. I’m a huge fan of cashews and generally have a large jar of them in my office to snack on between meals.Ĭase-in-point, there is a large jar next to me now. Ok, so we eat them too, but we always eat the cashews and pecans first. She goes for the pecans, I go for the cashews and we make everyone else eat the leftovers. My Mother-in-Law, Liz can attest that when a jar of mixed nuts in placed in front of me, I always go for the cashews. This Caramel Cashew recipe is number 6 on the list of favorite caramel candy recipes. I came up with 11 different candy recipes all using my homemade caramel base.
