These Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Cashews are the perfect way to spice up your plain ole’ cashews and simple enough to make them right on your griddle.

We first started making these Rosemary Cashews to compliment all the sweet treats at Christmas time, but now I love making up a batch just to have around, they’re a lovely tractor snack or to add to a lovely glass flip top jar for a Father’s Day or housewarming gift.

This time of year is when I love grabbing some fresh herbs from the garden and excitedly use them in ever dish I can think of! Dill will be the next one we start grabbing for as our cucumbers turn into delicious buckets of refrigerator pickles!

These cashews looks just so perfect in flop top jars, I can’t help but want to give them as gifts. They make the perfect Holiday Hostess Gift or Father’s Day gift! My husband says they are great with a beer or two! They are just the perfect combination of buttery, sweet and a touch of spice. You can jazz them up with as much heat as you’d like, too!
