Sweet snacks tend to fall into one of two categories. They either taste good and leave you feeling sluggish, or they’re marketed as “healthy” but don’t deliver in the flavor category. Karma Nuts’ Cocoa Dusted Wrapped® Cashews are the rare exception. These cashews are rich, chocolatey, and satisfying—with real ingredients, plant-based protein, and no added sugar.
Whether you need a mid-afternoon treat, something to calm a sweet tooth, or a smarter swap for sugary trail mix, these cashews are the answer.
Meet the Cocoa Dusted Wrapped® Cashews
These Cocoa Dusted Wrapped® Cashews aren’t sugar-coated or dipped. They’re air roasted whole, dusted in real cocoa, lightly glazed with organic rice syrup and cane sugar, and finished with sea salt and a touch of vanilla. The result is a cocoa-forward, balanced bite that hits the spot without being overly sweet or heavy.
They’re part of Karma’s Wrapped® line, which means each cashew retains its natural skin. That thin layer packs in antioxidants and fiber—offering twice the amount found in blueberries, gram for gram—along with a roasted texture that’s far more satisfying than traditional fried or skinned cashews.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Cashews
Organic Rice Syrup
Cane Sugar
Cocoa Powder
Sea Salt
Vanilla Extract
That’s it. No dairy. No palm oil. No artificial flavors. Just real ingredients you can pronounce, chosen to deliver a rich flavor and a clean finish. The cocoa is smooth and deep, not bitter or chalky. The sweetness is subtle. And the sea salt brings out the natural richness of the roasted cashew underneath.
Even better, these are made in a peanut-free facility with ethical labor practices and no unnecessary processing.
Wrapped® and Roasted for a Reason
The Wrapped® process is what sets these apart from other chocolate snacks. Karma Nuts air roasts their cashews with the skins on. That outer layer may look simple, but it’s where much of the nutrition lives. By keeping it intact, you get:
-
More fiber per serving
-
Naturally higher antioxidant levels
-
A more complex roasted flavor
-
A crunchier texture without added oils
It’s a small detail that makes a big difference. Instead of adding extra sugar or fat to make the snack satisfying, Karma relies on the cashew’s natural structure and the flavor of the skin to create something with real depth.
Air roasting instead of frying means less oil, less processing, and a lighter feel overall. You’re not just tasting cocoa; you’re tasting the cashew, too.
Nutrition That Backs It Up
Each 30g serving of Cocoa Dusted Wrapped® Cashews provides:
160 calories
4g plant-based protein
12g of healthy fats (mostly unsaturated)
1g of sugar
0g cholesterol
You also get essential minerals like copper and manganese, which support everything from metabolism to immune health. Cashews are naturally rich in Vitamin K and contain six essential minerals in total, making them more than just filler. They're fuel.
Because of the skins, you’re also getting higher levels of polyphenols: plant compounds with antioxidant activity that help protect your cells and support long-term health.
This snack doesn’t just satisfy in the moment. It’s doing something for your body, too.
Sweet Without Being a Sugar Bomb
Let’s be clear: this is a sweet snack. But it’s not a sugary one. The combination of organic rice syrup and cane sugar adds just enough sweetness to enhance the cocoa, not overpower it. With only 1 gram of sugar per serving, this is a major step up from chocolate-covered or candied nuts, which often contain five to ten times that amount.
You still get that dessert-like feel, especially with the addition of sea salt and vanilla, but it’s balanced in a way that makes you want to go back for more without overdoing it.
How to Enjoy Cocoa Dusted Wrapped® Cashews
There’s no wrong way to snack on these, but here are a few ways to make the most of them.
-
They’re excellent on their own, straight from the resealable bag, whether you’re powering through a workday or unwinding at night. Their texture and flavor make them an ideal afternoon pick-me-up when you're craving something sweet but trying to avoid a cookie or chocolate bar.
-
They also work beautifully as a topper. Try them crumbled over yogurt or oatmeal. The cocoa and crunch create a satisfying contrast with creamy textures, and the added protein helps turn your breakfast or snack into something more complete.
-
You can mix them into homemade trail mix with dried cherries, coconut flakes, and roasted seeds for a balanced blend of sweet, salty, and crunchy.
-
They’re also a smart addition to a dessert board. Think sliced pears, dark chocolate squares, and a small handful of Cocoa Dusted Cashews for a simple but elevated spread. They pair well with coffee, hot cocoa, or a post-dinner herbal tea.
-
And if you’re into baking, they add great texture and flavor to cookies, energy balls, or granola bars. Try them in our Salted Chocolate Cashew Oatmeal Cookies recipe.
