Sweet and spicy is my absolute favorite flavor combination. These Maple Chipotle Cashews are just that. I made these about three or four times to get the spice level that I wanted. Yes, these are spicy!

The first time that I combined maple syrup and chipotle in adobo was in some Maple Chipotle Black Bean Lettuce Wraps with Mango Salsa. I fell in love with the combination and knew it would be a go-to in the future.

Many, many years ago I went to a party where the caterer brought some spicy nuts. She mentioned how easy they were to make, but back then I wouldn’t have even thought to make my own.

I was working seven days a week, so I was happy just to have my main meals taken care of. I wasn’t about to go all out and make some spicy nuts!

Fast forward to the present and I see how making them really takes no time at all.

These Maple Chipotle Cashews literally take only a few minutes to make. It’s waiting for them to cool that takes time.

I found myself eating them hot off the stove because I just couldn’t wait to try some. (I may have burnt my fingers and tongue a couple of times.) After all, a cook has to taste her food, right!

These are great for a party, a mid-day snack, or topped on a salad. I included these in a large salad with avocado, cucumber, onion, carrot, and Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar. Yum!

  7. This sounds so different, but so YUM!!! I’ve recently really come to love the combo of sweet and spicy, and I can just never get enough. This is such a perfect snack-thanks for sharing! <3

    • I am going to have to guess because I ate these up pretty quickly. I would say a few days to a week, but I have made a similar recipe (haven’t posted yet) that lasted a couple of months, and still tasted great and had the same texture as they did right after cooking.

  11. This made a great addition to tapas on the deck. I served this with Iberica cheese sliced thinly and fig preserves. Lovely course and it was a big hit.

    Leftovers stored beautifully and were yummy on a salad a few days later!
