I made this today doing some individual ones and one bigger round one. I used a pan for the individual ones that are the size of a cupcake pan only with removable bottoms. I sprayed them really well and they came right out. I got 12 individual ones and a larger one. Total this recipe makes 1 1/4 lbs. of cashew butter crunch. It just melts in your mouth. You can use any kind of nuts you want to in this recipe, I love it with pecans too!
