Preparation

  1. Prep Baking Sheet:
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate:
    • In a large bowl, microwave chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Ingredients:
    • Add crushed graham crackers and chopped cashews to the melted chocolate. Stir until well combined. If using cinnamon, add it now.
  4. Spread and Cool:
    • Spread the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper in a thin layer. Let cool completely.
  5. Break and Store:
    • Once the candy has fully cooled, break it into small pieces. Store in an airtight container or bag.

Tips:

  • Lower Points Options: For fewer points, you could use a lower-fat or sugar-free chocolate alternative.
  • Alternative Nuts: Swap cashews for another type of nut or use a mix of nuts to vary the flavor.
  • Portion Control: To keep portions controlled, pre-cut the candy into small pieces before storing.

Benefits:

  • Satisfying Sweet: This candy provides a sweet treat with the crunch of graham crackers and the richness of chocolate.
  • Nut Protein: Cashews add protein and healthy fats, making the candy a bit more filling.
