Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup raisins
1 pound raw cashews or dry roasted unsalted cashews
1 pound milk chocolate confectioners' coating

  • To roast raw cashews, spread in a shallow baking pan. Bake in 350° oven 15 minutes or till light brown.

These clusters are a great way to use up leftover raisins and cashews. I always have a few bags of each in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.
