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.
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.

Are you using raw cashews?
Sage says
Awesome! Thank you so much, I look forward to trying this!
Ginny McMeans says
I think a week for sure Sage. Keep in an airtight container and keep out of the sun and in as cool as a place as possible.
Sage says
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.
