You know how I’m always making my dark chocolate cashew clusters? I just thought it was a healthy sweet treat considering the health benefits of dark (70%) chocolate and the protein from the cashews. Plus, I keep them refrigerated and cashews stay softer than almonds. So last night, I saw an article about my favorite snack! It turns out that cashews are a perfect balance of carbs, protein, fat and fiber that helps prevent blood sugar spikes. That’s even more reason to make my dark chocolate cashew clusters.
p.s. Cashews must be toasted first! I buy them raw and dry-roast at 350 until they’re light brown (about 12-15 minutes) and they taste much better than store-bought toasted ones.
