These Cinnamon-Caramel Nut Clusters are the ultimate cozy snack for fall. With buttery caramel, roasted nuts, and a hint of cinnamon spice, they’re crunchy, chewy, and completely addictive. You only need five ingredients and 15 minutes to whip up a batch that tastes like it came from a gourmet candy shop.
I created these nut clusters one crisp afternoon when I needed a quick treat to go with warm cider. I tossed some mixed nuts in cinnamon, drizzled them with homemade caramel, and let them set. The result? A sweet, salty, spiced bite that disappears faster than you can say “harvest snack.”
They’re perfect for gifting, snacking, or adding to a festive dessert board. You can use any nuts you like—pecans, almonds, cashews—and finish them with a pinch of sea salt or a white chocolate drizzle.
Stored in a tin, they stay crisp for days, making them ideal for holiday prep or fall gatherings. If you love nutty snacks with warm autumn flavor, these cinnamon-caramel nut clusters are a must-make.
