Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the clusters will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Toast the cashews: Toasting the cashews will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a variety of add-ins: In addition to cashews, you can also add other ingredients to your clusters, such as dried fruit, nuts, or seeds.
- Don't overcook the chocolate: The chocolate should be melted but not scorched. If the chocolate is overcooked, it will become grainy and lose its flavor.
- Let the clusters cool completely: Before you enjoy your clusters, let them cool completely so that the chocolate can set.

Chocolate cashew clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or gift-giving. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious snack that everyone will love.
