My wife and I are fans of the Cincinnati Reds. That can be tough at times. That’s why these baseball opening day candied cashews were double good. We needed a super-tasty treat to make up for what is destined to be a challenging season for our Reds. I made a big batch just to be sure we got maximum comforting. These crunchy sweet nuts were absolutely delicious and easy to make just in time for the game!
I used cashews because, well, they are what you can get a ballpark. But pecan halves would be amazing too. Or make a mix, half cashews, half pecans. Whatever you do, these baseball opening day candied cashews are amazing!
Go Reds!
