CASHEW CACAO CLUSTERS
This recipe was inspired during the holiday season while creating a Christmas care package for my son (and my own desire for full, taste explosions of flavor that just happen to pack healthy power).

Some for gifts, as well as some to serve at a party yet… I have been into it almost daily so I will be making more.
