Notes
- You can place clusters in the fridge or freezer to speed up the hardening process.You can freeze these in freezer safe bags for up to 3 months.Almond bark cannot be substituted in this recipe, it will change both the flavor and texture of the clusters.Flaked sea salt is another great topping idea for these clusters.These should keep up to 1 month in an airtight container in the refrigerator.These can be made in the slow cooker, simply add the ingredients to the crockpot and stir every half hour. Start with the nuts on the bottom.Add sprinkles to match the holiday.Any nut can be used in place of cashews in this recipe.This recipe makes 24 clusters with the 2 tbsp measurements but you can make them smaller.
