Easy Caramel Toffee Cashew Clusters Recipe

I know we often associate homemade gifts with the holidays and rightly so. I say, why wait? There are many opportunities throughout the entire year to give a thoughtful and delicious treat to brighten someone’s day. It’s not only the thought but, the effort that it takes to do something memorable for someone else. It’s an act of kindness and one I love doing often. When I came across caramel baking chips on the baking aisle of my local grocery store, I truly thought I’d heard angels sing. While I’m fond of chocolate, I’m completely sold out and in love with caramel. I’ve seen caramel chips sold as salted caramel and plain caramel. You can use either for this recipe with no other adjustments necessary.

How to Make the BEST Caramel Toffee Cashew Clusters Recipe

To make, caramel baking chips are mixed with white chocolate chips then melted together in the microwave until smooth. Stir in salted whole cashews and bits-o-brickle then use a tablespoon to drop in clusters on wax paper to set. The only difficult part in the whole process is waiting for them to harden enough to eat.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Caramel Cashew Clusters: Caramel baking chips, white chocolate baking chips, cashews, solid vegetable shortening and English toffee bits.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Sheet pans, measuring cups and spoons, silicone baking mat or wax paper, large spoon, double boiler.
If you don’t have a double boiler you can create your own. Fit a metal or heat safe bowl over a pot with one inch of simmering water. The water shouldn’t touch the bottom of the bowl.
These drop caramel toffee cashew clusters can be made up to one week in advance then kept at room temperature in an airtight container.
If you choose to chill these candy clusters, just bring them to room temperature before serving so they can soften just a bit.
You could adapt this recipe using any variety of nuts that you enjoy.
