These sugar coated pecans are super quick to whip up and they are delicious. I've only tried this recipe with pecans, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work just as well with other types of nuts. Toss them in decorative tins or candy bags and you'll have nice little gifts for your nut loving friends, co-workers, etc...
Sugar Coated Pecans
You will need:
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 pound pecan halves
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Grease one baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and vanilla until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, salt and cinnamon together.
- Add the nuts to the egg whites and stir well until the nuts are evenly coated. Next, place the nuts in the sugar mixture, and toss to coat.
- Spread the nuts out evenly onto the baking sheet.
- Bake at 250 for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!!
