Recently, my Real Housewife mamas and I got together (we are all get together a couple times a month to watch whatever season is playing and discuss those crazy characters as though we know them. All of our husbands make fun of us, but we love it and it's such a great excuse to get together regularly!) and I brought these yummy candied pecans and walnuts. All the ladies loved them! These are great in salads or for munching on straight up. You can make your own....
1/3 cup dark-brown sugar (I didn't have any and used light brown and it worked just fine!)
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 lb. nuts (I like walnuts & pecans...almonds get too hard & crunchy for my taste.)
1 egg white, room temperature
1 tablespoon water
Preheat oven: 300 degrees
Mix sugars, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Make sure there are no lumps & set aside.
Beat egg white and water until frothy.
Add nuts to egg white mixture to coating evenly.
Add sugar mixture to nuts and toss until coated.
Spread nuts on cookie sheet. *Parchment paper is a good idea if you have some on hand.
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from oven and cool.
*These make a nice little gift, too!
