Cashew Clusters Recipe. Salted Maple Cashew Clusters. Paleo. Dairy Free
Begin by lining 2 baking sheets (1 large and 1 small) with parchment paper and set aside. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cashews and toast, turning frequently, until slightly brown and soft, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove to a mixing bowl and toss with maple syrup, vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt.
Transfer to small parchment lined baking sheet (in a single layer) and allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Once cool, begin melting chocolate. I like to break up the chocolate in the wrapper (less messy) and use a double boiler. You could use the microwave but I don't recommend it for this large of an amount of chocolate. See NOTES above for info on tempering.
Transfer cooled cashews back into mixing bowl and pour melted chocolate over. Use a spatula to toss until well coated.
Working quickly, use a tablespoon to measure heaps of the cashew-chocolate mixture onto the large parchment lined baking sheet. You should get approximately 24.
Finish with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
