Salty meets sweet in these delectable salted coconut cashew clusters, made with a combination of wholesome, raw ingredients. Treat your loved ones to these decadent morsels on Valentine’s Day – or any day for that matter!
Valentine’s Day is that one day when we can give ourselves permission to indulge in just about every sweet treat known to man, without feeling overwhelmed with guilt the day after. Everything about this day is sweet, from kind words on homemade Valentine’s Day cards and arts and craft projects for the little ones, to date nights for moms and dads and decadent sweets treats. These salted coconut cashew clusters are just as sweet as any traditional treat, but they have a few more things going for them – they’re much healthier than store-bought treats, they’re packed with protein and naturally sweetened with honey, and the addition of pink Himalayan sea salt takes their flavour profile over the edge.
In retrospect, doubling (or even tripling) the recipe would have been a good idea, considering these delicious treats didn’t last longer than a day in my home. The best part of these salted coconut cashew clusters – besides the fact that they’re ah-mazing, is that the recipe is so simple and unbelievably quick to prepare. Simply throw the ingredients in a large bowl, mix together then pop in the oven for 15 minutes. These are by far one of the easiest Valentine’s Day treats I’ve prepared for the family – and they’ve earned themselves a spot on my healthy snack recipe rotation!

My favorite way to eat chocolate is with nuts mixed in. I absolutely love when it turns into a healthier snack. I had to laugh when you said Valentine’s Day was your day to indulge a bit. It definitely was my day to indulge a bit as well and I assure you I had some chocolate and yes, it had some nuts in it, haha!
Perfect excuse to go all out on chocolate and sweets, right?!
Those looked delicious! Plus, they’re so easy to make it seems. Thank you so much for sharing this. It absolutely looks like a great snack to munch on!
They’re SO easy to make. Literally, just mix the ingredients in a bowl, then bake!
Cashews are delicious, and don’t really see them used as much in recipes. They taste so good covered in chocolate. I’d make this recipe in a heartbeat. I’ve never made anything with vanilla bean powder before, so that would be fun.
Vanilla bean powder is AMAZING!!
This looks so delicious. And it looks so easy to make. I will be trying this one!
OH MY GOSH! I am adding this to my must make list for this weekend. My kids love coconut and cashews so this would be a perfect snack/dessert for them. Looks so good.
So do mine, and they devour these 😉
What a delicous creation. And those flavors sweet and salty-that’s my favorite. I think I’m going to try this out over the weekend as my Mother really loves cashew clusters
Thank you Kathleen!
This looks so decadent and yummy!!
I love anything with nuts, sugar and salt. These look yummy and filling. I’m really working hard at trying to be more aware of how much I eat. This would be a great snack or dessert.
These are pretty decadent, and you don’t actually need a lot to feel satisfied.
Those look unbelievable delicious! Cashews are my favorite type of nut, then to add coconuts in the mixed is off the chain. The recipe seems pretty simple that’s why I like even more. Looks scrumptious! This is an all day snack for me.
These look delicious! I like the combination of chocolate and cashews! This definitely looks like something I can make up quick at home!
This looks incredible! Salted cashews are one of my favorite nuts. I think that salty/sweet is my favorite flavor combination! There is just something awesome about salt and chocolate. Especially dark chocolate!
Oh my goodness! These sound delicious and very similar to the Turtles candy that my husband loves, just have to add a wee bit of caramel. This recipe has such wholesome ingredients, I could make these as snacks for the kids! Thanks for the yummy recipe. 🙂
I love cashews–they’re my favorite nut. The idea of combing theme with some other tasty ingredients was genius. I plan on making these, but I doubt they’ll last very long. If they taste half as good as they look, they’ll be gone in a day.
I would definitely double the recipe!
These look delicious. I will definelty try these asap
I love cashews! This would be a great snack that my kids would also enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
Sweet AND salty is my favorite combo! I am going to make these soon! I love how easy you made it for us to do! Thank you!
Oh my goodness, this looks and sounds good. It’s always the easy to make treats like these that gt me in trouble. I love all three ingredients too. So this is one I would love to make. Yum!
Good to know! Guess I’ll have to make more asap 😉
It was delicious…….only lasted 1 day.
