Candied Roasted Nuts

Alex bought some roasted nuts recently and he ate all of them before I even got a chance to get my hands on them. So I decided to make some homemade candied nuts for him since he loves them so much. The recipe is really easy and it makes a lot so you can keep some and give some away as a gift.

Recipe:
1/3 c brown sugar
2/3 c white sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 lb nuts (I had cashews and pecans)
1 egg white
1 Tbsp water



Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Mix sugars, salt, and cinnamon.


In a separate bowl beat egg white and water until frothy but not stiff.


Add nuts and coat evenly. Pour in sugar mixture and stir until all nuts are covered in sugar.


Spread onto a cookie sheet (you may need two cookie sheets-also lining them with parchment paper would be a good idea) and bake for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.


When they are cooling, give them a toss so they don't all stick together.


I put some in a mason jar with a red ribbon to give to Alex.
