Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts

 

Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts

Ingredients:

2-3 cups mixed nuts (or use one kind)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2-1 Tbsp. cinnamon 

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg white (from large egg)

2 tsp. water

2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In a gallon sized Ziploc bag combine cinnamon and both sugars and salt. In a medium bowl add egg white, water, and vanilla. Whisk all together with a fork until frothy/bubbly. Add nuts and stir until they are completely coated with the mixture. Pour into Ziploc bag with sugar mixture. Seal bag and shake to coat nuts completely with sugar mixture.  Pour into a foil (sprayed with cooking spray) or parchment lined baking sheet. Spread out into an even layer. Bake for 1 hour (stir every 15-20 minutes). Allow to cool before eating. Store in mason jars or an airtight container up to 3 weeks.

*Note: This recipe is good with a nut mixture or use a single kind. Ex: pecans, walnuts, or almonds. I may try this recipe with pretzels next time. I'll just decrease the cinnamon to 2 tsp. instead.
