My dad loves nuts, he eats almonds and peanuts by the
handful, but one of his favorites is cashews.
In fact, at Christmas, when I make my annual "trash" or chex
mix, I put 2 cans of cashews in because people always pick them out first.
Cashew nuts grow on trees that are related to mango and pistachio trees. They
grow naturally in India and Brazil, as these trees thrive in hot and tropical
climates. The cashew nut actually grows on the end of a fruit known as a cashew
apple.

Today is an extra special day. Not only does it involve my favorite nut, but
also chocolate…my favorite Everything!
Today is Chocolate covered Cashew Day.
I have been doing extensive research on this day, but didn't come up
with much. I did learn that Chocolate
Covered Cashews are celebrated every April 21st, and I’m sure many other days
too. There are many different brands you
can try; there are dark and milk chocolate varieties too. If you can't find any locally, you can also
make your own. I found a few videos
online giving instructions on how to make them, but you can simply melt some
chocolate and pour it over your cashews, or either stir them in, even dunk them
one at a time. Lay them on wax paper and
let them cool.
