No-Cook 10-Minute Cashew Nuggets Treat

Need a little salty and sweet pick-me-up treat to get you through the day with a smile?

You’re busy…working hard…getting kind of hungry…and a handful of nuts, a dry slab of beef jerky, or raw veggie sticks just doesn’t sound all that appealing…

Well how does this grab you: No-Cook 10-minute Cashew Nuggets!

This is a simple, gluten-free recipe with a sweet reward – in minutes you can whip together a much healthier version of something that tastes a whole lot like a PayDay candy bar.

And bonus, there’s only a tablespoon of raw honey in the whole batch. Just don’t over indulge – there’s a good bit of sunflower seed butter in these. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-22ixq0′]

I love (or I should say used to love) PayDay candy bars. I really like the taste of salty and sweet together.

That’s what inspired me to come up with this easy recipe. And to me, it’s the peanut-like flavor these have that really put them over the top.

Take a little break and make these golden nuggets of goodness…guaranteed to put a smile on your face! :)

Enjoy!

  1. These look delicious! Is the Trader Joe’s sunflower seed butter sweetened?

    1. This is a tasty little treat! You know, it’s been so long since I’ve purchased TJ’s sunflower seed butter, I don’t remember the exact ingredients. These days, I just make my own seed and nut butters fresh with my blender. :)

      1. Nice! Do you use water to blend them or just the nuts? I haven’t tried that!

        1. Just the seeds and a good blender is about all you need. If they don’t blend as well as you would like, you can add a tiny bit of coconut oil to make the sunflower seed butter creamier. Hope that helps Kristin :)

  2. WOW!!! Much simpler than my Paleo Snickers! These are next on my list, but I’ll have to make a few adjustments. Thanks for getting my wheels spinning :)

  3. Where do you find coconut butter?

    1. I get mine on Amazon. :)

  4. How tasty and great do these look?! I love that they look like a ‘normal’ treat

    1. :) They are ‘normal’ and yummy! Give them a try. Super easy and good!

  5. How big of a piece would you say is a serving size? Theses sounds very good.

    1. About a 2 inch square.

  6. Did you use raw or toasted cashews?

    1. Judy, I used toasted because i was kinda trying to make a treat similar to a payday candy bar.

  7. Can I use almonds instead of cashews? How about macadamia nuts (lightly roasted, no salt added)?

    1. Sure! Either sounds awesome!

  8. Chrissy, I allow cashews into my diet on occasion. I’m 90% paleo and this is just a fun treat. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/is-it-primal-8-foods-scrutinized/#axzz2rEZ5eu9H

  9. Cashews are not really Paleo??????
