I have a huge crush on appetizers.  The variety is endless and you can use them for snacking but if you put a few different ones out –  you have a party.

The Best Slow Cooker Spiced Cashews recipe is extra special because it is perfect for any day.   It cooks in the slow cooker in just 1 hour and 15 minutes so the cashews will be ready in no time.

They are so beautiful and tasty people will think you paid a lot of money for them and they came in a beautiful tin.  Nope, it was made by you and you are just that good of a cook.

You know I’m sitting here with a big container of raw cashews and I’ve been wondering what I could make with them.  It was going to be a new recipe for the blog.

I say ‘was’ because now I’m thinking of going in there and making this recipe again for our house.  They were so good and it’s been a long time.

I’ll make something else that’s new for you guys.  I have peanuts in the pantry too.  That’s it!  I’ll make Slow Cooker Chocolate Clusters for all of you to enjoy.

You can sure tell I have the holidays on the mind.

You know I’ve got another very popular slow cooker recipe on the blog.  This one is with walnuts but the flavors are in the absolute opposite direction.

Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Walnuts are also super easy.  You have to pour these out on a baking sheet to cool though so that they don’t clump too much together.

This is what they look like and they are also very easy to eat – way too many.

Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Walnuts are in a canning jar with ribbon on the side so that it can be wrapped for a holiday gift.
 

Fall and the holidays are coming.   These cashews would make a great ‘homemade gift’.

Fill up canning jars and then dress them up with a pretty ribbon.  Or when company comes, serve in a bowl as seen in these photos.

They are very SPICY so don’t eat too many.  They are hard to resist.

You can certainly freeze these by putting them in a freezer bag or a freezer safe glass container but they will probably be gone very quickly.

They will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks and in the freezer for 2 months.

  5. How long do you think these would last outside of the fridge/freezer? Like if I were to make them before I left for a trip and then took them with me.

  6. Made a batch tonight. It was so easy & they taste great. Great snack to take to family as part of Xmas festivities.

  9. Raw or Roasted would both work Pete. Definitely more salty if using roasted but still very delicious. I used roasted when I made this recipe the first time because that’s what I had.

  16. Any idea of what is considered a serving size and the nutritional content of that?! I can eat all 3 cups in a sitting!!!

  19. For these photos I used roasted cashews but I have used both. The recipe is delicious either way but they will be less salty with the raw. Works great though.

  23. Could I use Olive oil ? Im still looking for a good coconut oil here in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, and Id probably prefer “refined” as Im not crazy for the taste of coconut.

  27. These cashews look so yummy. I have never tried to make flavored cashews myself, but I might just very well try that now!

  28. I started with raw cashews but I did not specify the because I have also done them with roasted. Both are delicious! You decide but raw are wonderful and addictive. 🙂

  30. so easy and an excellent use of my slow cooker, i had no idea that you could roast nuts in a slow cooker! these are fantastic!! i can’t wait to try different spices. yummy!

  31. Oh man, my mom LOVES cashews! I’m going to have to try this out for her 🙂 Do they HAVE to be kept in the refrigerator after making? Or can they be kept in a bag/mason jar at room temperature?
    Thanks for the rad recipe! 😀

  32. I would knock the cayenne pepper and smokey paprika down to 1/4 teaspoon each. That should do it. If that is still too strong for you then go to 1/4 teaspoon of the ground cumin.

  39. You know what? You have so many good ideas, I’m going to have to get more slow cookers to have everything going at once!;-)

  40. Oooo… actually, I just noticed that the seasoning for the nuts is somewhat similar to a blend that I have on hand. Makes this even simpler for me now. 🙂 Love that this can pretty much be tossed into the slow cooker and, voila – done! Thanks for this great idea that will jazz up my goodie trays!

  41. Oh – mixed nuts! That’s a good idea, too! I recently saw a bag of mixed nuts in my freezer that I can use for my Christmas goodies I will give away. Save the cashews for us. 😉

  42. I can’t wait to make these! My boyfriend LOVES cashews and I plan on surprising him and giving him these as a holiday gift!

  45. I wish I never found this recipe because I CANNOT STOP EATING THESE! Blown away by the addictive flavor and ease of this recipe.

  49. I made these today and used a cup each of raw pecans, raw walnuts, and raw cashews! These turned out awesome!

  50. No, I have not left them in longer. The crockpot would not roast them but you could start with roasted cashews. Yes, you could do them in the oven.

  51. I made these this afternoon using raw cashews. I was expecting more of a roasted cashew flavor which I did not get. I would try this again as I like the spice blend but I would do them in the oven as I do almonds and walnuts. Thanks for the idea. Have you tried cooking the raw nuts longer in the slow cooker and gotten a more roasted nut?

  52. Yay Diane!!! Thanks for letting me know. I think they are so good and it is wonderful when other people say so too – it is like a – See? Try it! 🙂

  60. Yes, Nutmeg Nanny. It is so easy! Thank you so much for sharing my blog with your brother. I appreciate it very much and I think he will be happy with all the recipes. 🙂

  61. I totally did not know that you could make nuts in the slow cooker! BTW I shared you blog with my little brother who is vegan and he LOVES it 🙂

  65. You can but it would be a different recipe and I am not sure of the measurements yet. I have actually tried two different mixes and it isn’t right yet. I am working on it and if you get it before I have it posted – let me know. 🙂
