Cinnamon Roasted Cashews are one thing that you will truly enjoy making this holiday season. They also do not have very many ingredients in them and they make a perfect neighbor gift. It is fun to put about 1 cup of them in a clear bag or make a funnel out of a cute piece of card stock paper.

I also have a different recipe that I make: Cinnamon Roasted Crock Pot Almonds, but this recipe is a little more monitored, where each crock pot is different. I promise if you try these Cinnamon Roasted Cashews, you will not be disappointed. And they cost a fraction of the price to make than if you were to buy them at a boutique or from a store.
