    Make the best homemade Cocoa Candied Nuts without refined sugars in your stovetop. The caramelized cocoa nibs and nuts burst with flavor! (Vegan, Paleo)

    bowl of mixed nuts used in making cacao nut cluster

    These are a simple and delicious on-the-go healthy snack idea just like these Cinnamon Sugar Candied Cashews that everybody loves. Made with a delectable blend of raw almonds, macadamia nuts, pecans, cashews, crushed raw cacao beans and lightly coated with organic raw coconut palm sugar.

    These Cacao Nut Clusters are a sweet and crunchy treat with a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants that travel well and are perfect to keep in your purse or your desk drawer.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 4 tablespoons unrefined coconut sugar
    • ½ cup almonds
    • ½ cup raw macadamia nuts
    • ¼ cup pecans
    • ¼ cup cashews
    • ½ cup cacao nibs

    Instructions
     

    • Add water and coconut sugar to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
    • Add the nuts and cacao nibs to saucepan and stir to coat them with the sugar.
    • Within a couple of minutes the water will evaporate and the sugar will caramelize on the nuts and nibs and turn brown in color. Be careful not to burn the mixture.
    • Remove from the stove and let it cool on a plate lined with parchment paper.
