Yummy, it looks so delicious. I never had cashew with sugar. I think this is great for my child’s this year birthday party.
It looks really good and I think the best time to have it is while watching some movie.
I added some garlic powder to the cashew nuts and omitted the spices. Kept in a jar.
My son love it! Going to try out with almonds. Dun know if it works.
Great tip! There are many ways for one recipe. 🙂
