Cashew Pomegranate Bites (gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo)

Last month I posted a Valentine’s Day post with Toasted Coconut Almond Fudge and Almond Delights.  The third treat that I made that day was the Cashew Pomegranate Bites.  I was looking for a natural ingredient to make some sort of PINK treat for Valentines’s Day, and I came across  this pomegranate powder at our local health food store.  It is pink.  It is full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.  So I gave it a try.  The treats didn’t turn out as pink as I had hoped, but they are delicious.  A little sweet.  A little tart.  And a little chewy.  The perfect combination of cashew butter, honey, and pomegranate.  I was expecting the Toasted Coconut Fudge to be the favorite around here, but my family actually likes these cashew treats the best.

I made these with hard candy molds, but you can use mini muffin tins as the mold as well.  The pop right out once you place them in the freezer for a while.

These treats are best right out of the freezer as they get pretty soft at room temperature.   I love yummy treats that are good for you as well.  And if you decide to buy the pomegranate powder, you can use it in smoothies as well to add a little nutrient boost.  I recently saw these freeze dried strawberries at the camping store and thought that they could work as well if you ground them up.  Haven’t tried it yet but definitely worth a try.  And please let me know if you do…… ENJOY!!!
