    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.
