As I am not a huge fan of chocolate and nuts together or of overly sweet chocolate snacks, I passed these. Yes, I am *that* person.Ībout a year ago I saw these in a new variety…perhaps a limited holiday version?…dipped in chocolate. In fact, I like them so much that, when I see people looking at them, I can’t resist commenting on how good they are. However, after too many (I’ve had many more than five at a time!), you may be left with an overly sweet aftertaste and potentially a stomach ache, due to the high nut content. Because they are small and easy to eat, one of the five-piece servings may seem small. Make Asian Crunch Salad with Cashews Copycat Costco Taylor Farms Asian Cabbage Salad Ingredients for Asian Cashew Crunch Salad Tips for Crunchy Cabbage. To avoid a shirt-ful of sweet, sticky crumbs, eat them in whole or half-piece bites.ģ. Although convenient to take as a snack, as they are small, transportable, and filling, they make quite a mess if you are a pick-as-you-eat person. I refer to this product as “crunch” and my name for it is not a misnomer…these treats will definitely give your jaw a workout! 2. Although I have not tried it, I imagine that these crumbs would make a good topping for yogurt or ice cream (like a healthier version of a Heath topping.)ġ. Most of the pack is squares, but the very bottom of the bags contain crumbs. I put them in an extra ziplock bag as well for extra freshness. Cashew Clusters With Almonds and Pumpkin Seeds 50 Cashews Gluten Free, Kosher. They definitely taste freshest upon just being opened, but, due to the sliding seal, they remain crunchy for months. This snack is a good treat at any time of day, whether for a quick protein boost in the morning or afternoon, or a sweet treat in the evening. They are akin to honey roasted nuts but I prefer these, due to the slightly less sweet taste and the ability to have both almonds and cashews together without the cheaper peanuts taking over the mixture. They are sweet but not cloying and, although not a “health food,” are certainly a healthier alternative to candy. This composition creates a taste that is nutty, rather than plain sugary. The majority of the squares contain whole nuts and seeds, in addition to smaller pieces of each. I have had other nut-based sweet snacks that seem to contain more sugary filler than pure nuts…certainly not the case with this variety. I like almonds too, but definitely find cashews to be more of a treat. The package “boasts” that these snacks contain 50% cashews, a big selling point for a cashew-lover like me. There are only 4 grams of sugar per serving. Good news: the sweetener used here isn't excessive. This blend of nuts and seeds is held together in pop-able clusters with a smidge of honey and cane sugar. These cubes contain cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and a sugary “glue” to hold the nuts together. Go nuts at snack time with Costco's Kirkland Cashew Clusters with Almonds and Pumpkin Seeds. (Although, not to discredit him or anything, but how could a snack comprised mostly of cashews and almonds NOT appeal to most people?) A few years ago my brother spotted this snack at Costco and thought it sounded like something that would appeal to me…he was right.
