Editor's Note: Introducing Meet Me Mondays - Candy Version! I am Britta Malsch, the Purchasing Manager at Anderson's Candy Shop. I also help the Andersons with social media duties. As I enter my 10th year at the store, another one of my goals has been to help introduce each of our delicious candies to our wonderful customers, while also providing a tool for the general public to be able to identify our candy. I hope you enjoy this series which will highlight all the Anderson's Candy that you love!
Fifteenth in our series is Cashew.
This next nut center is my favorite nut!
What can I say, I’m a simple gal. Something about that delicious combo of chocolate and salty and ever so tasty cashew... gets me every single time! (insert laughing, crying emoji here LOL!)
Just as before all of our nut bars are dipped in to chocolate the same way.
Our dippers take our signature chocolate, whether it be milk or dark, and create those perfect oval shaped beds. Then after carefully placing whole cashews down, they cover each nut in that delicious chocolate -- tucking it into it’s chocolate bed.
Remember in our Blog Post about Almonds I mentioned sometimes being able to tell which nut bar is which by looking closely at the shape of the nuts through the chocolate… Well Cashew is that bar that fits the bill.
The unique “C” shape of the cashew is unlike any other nut in our line up. This means that if something happens to that naked nut marker that the dippers usually leave as a clue for us, cashew bars are that one bar that can be identified easily.
This bar again, looks like its partner nut bars. Shaped into an oblong chocolate puddle and filled with those glorious “lumps and bumps” which are the delicious Number 210 Cashew Nuts. Sourced again for us by locally owned NIDA Trading Company in Elk Grove Village.
When searching in a box of chocolates and looking for the cashew piece you will look for a candy cup (the little brown paper cups that hold each piece - sometimes two pieces), that is holding two pieces. You will look for a “C” shaped piece that is marked with a capital cursive letter “C” for “Cashew”.
Funny Fact: When fourth generation Anderson, Katie, was little she called the cashews "Lay Leno Nuts" because they reminded her of the shape of the famous Late Nite TV host's face.

Cashews are also GLUTEN FREE!
