Notes

How to make cashew clusters on a sheet pan instead of cups:
  1. Toast the nuts on a parchment lined baking sheet in a preheated 375 degree f oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
  2. Add the toasted nuts, syrup and sea salt in a mixing bowl and toss while making sure the nuts and seeds are coated with the syrup.
  3. Spread the nuts on a parchment lined baking sheet in a thin layer, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven and let the nuts cool off for about 10 minutes, and start breaking them apart.
  5. The nuts should be crispy around the edges but as you get toward the center of the nut mixture, they may feel soft. Flip the nuts over so that the bottom on faces up. This will help to crisp them up. Allow for them to sit for at least 30 more minutes until they are crispy and break them apart.
 
Store cashew clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
