SCD Recipe: Easy Vanilla Cashew Butter Candy – Honey Sweetened

This SCD recipe is so simple and good! Many candy recipes call for cocoa butter, but this one doesn’t need it. Cocoa butter is expensive and can be hard to find, so I like to use alternatives when I can and save the cocoa butter for special occasions.

What Do You Need to Make Cashew Butter Candy?

For me this recipe used pantry ingredients and I was able to whip it up on a whim on Christmas Day becuase I felt like having a little Christmas candy at the last minute.

  • Cashew Butter
  • Coconut Oil
  • Butter
  • Honey
  • Vanilla
  • Silicone Candy Molds

What Kind of Cashew Butter Do You Use?


You can certainly make your own cashew butter, but I generally use Wellbee’s Cashew Butter. It has no added ingredients and has a creamy, smooth texture.

What I love about this is that it not only uses basic ingredients, but it’s also very simple to make. Cashew butter makes a good emulsifier so you don’t need to spend time cooling and blending. Cashew butter also allows you to not have to worry about it getting too hot as much.

You still want to keep the heat fairly low, but you won’t need a candy thermometer.

For these I used my new candy bar molds, but you can use any candy molds you like. If you don’t have any candy molds, line a mini-muffin tin with paper liners and use that.
