I love cashews. I love paprika. I love sweet things. I love all of them combined. So that what I did it. These are like eating toffee covered nuts. Beauty.
I really wish I didn’t have an allergy to nuts. I had to get these out of the house right away because I couldn’t stop eating them. Stupid allergy. But if you are wanting to feed your super bowl guests well, this would be a perfect recipe. They will be snacking for days. Or minutes.
Ok, so I’ve been trying to get into Breaking Bad because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE talks about how addicting it is. But I’ve watched the first season and I’m still a bit unsure. It’s pretty depressing, guys. I mean, something is always going wrong, multiple times a day. How can that many things go wrong in one day? It’s just not realistic.
Anywho, I’ve started to pack up for my move to a new apartment. I’m finding things I forgot I even had. Like shoes. How do you forget about shoes? Well, my current closet is the size of 30 pack of beer. That may not make sense to you, but it does to me. It’s small. So things get lost easily in there. Shoes, shirts, headbands, socks. Damn socks.
I’m also finding things I haven’t used in a while. Even though they are in plain sight, I kind of forget about them because they have collected so much dust. I hate dusting. Something I need to work on for my new place. Now that I’ve noticed it, I think I want to make ice cream soon. Yeah. I definitely do.

These were delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing all of your awesome recipes. I pretty much cook something of yours every night for my husband and I.
I made these and they were a lot better days after I made them. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or not but when I pulled them out of the oven, there was a lot of liquid (the honey and coconut oil) spread out everywhere. Even after letting cool it was still a bit of a mess. I had to let them sit for a few days. Maybe I used 2 T not 2 t of coconut oil, LOL. I would definitely make them again b/c the flavors were so delish! Thanks for sharing!
Just made them…the only part I don’t like is…I don’t think I’m going to be able to stay out of them! Killer good.
I am 7 months pregnant and have been craving spicy cashews. If I can have spicy and sweet cashews it seems like a no brainer to me! Can’t wait to try these!
