Ingredients
- Cashews: I use organic raw cashews for this recipe. You should use raw because we are adding salt and roasting them, so using already roasted and salted cashews can be too much.
- Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter. If you want to use unsalted, you can also. You can adjust salt at the end if needed.
- Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar.
- Honey: I use organic raw honey.
- Salt: Make sure to use a fine sea salt so it mixes in well.
Tools Needed
- Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- Small Pot: You'll need a small pot to melt the butter, honey, and sugar.
- Mixing Bowl: You'll need a large mixing bowl to mix up the nuts and topping.
- Spatula: I use a spatula to do the mixing.
- Baking Sheet: I use a half sheet pan to roast the cashews, this way they can evenly spread out.
- Parchment Paper: I always recommend nontoxic parchment paper for a recipe like this. It will ensure these do not stick to the pan!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the cashews and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, add the butter, honey, and 1/4 cup cane sugar and melt over medium heat. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from the heat. Pour the sugar mixture over the cashews and stir to coat completely.
Step 3
Transfer the cashew mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Step 4
To make the topping: In a small dish, add together the 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cane sugar and 1 teaspoon sea salt and mix together. Sprinkle over the top of the warm cashews and stir to coat completely. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Baker's Tips
- Use organic raw cashews for this recipe. You don’t want to use roasted and salted cashews because you are going to roast and salt them! They could end up burnt and too salty if you use already roasted and salted cashews.
- Parchment paper helps incredibly with this recipe as these become very sticky and will harden onto the baking sheet once cooled. So, I highly recommend using parchment paper.
- These are a great snack to make a few days ahead of a party! They will last for up to 1 month (if you don’t eat them all!). So that makes them a great recipe to make ahead of time.
- Be sure to store in an airtight container. I like to use a glass jar for this and I keep that in my pantry.
