Cinnamon Frosted Nuts
Are you ready to make the most addictive snack ever? If you are then trust us, this is the recipe for you. These make a great gift for Christmas if you have the self control needed to actually give these away and not eat them all to yourselves. Although my trick is make a double batch and then I can still keep a jar to myself. These are also great as it uses mostly store cupboard ingredients, I generally just have to buy a couple of bags of nuts and everything else I already have in the cupboard
Ingredients
3 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
500g nuts, we used pecans and cashews
115g butter, melted
1 cup icing sugar
1tsp cinnamon
Method
Preheat oven to 160°C
Use a cooking spray to coat a baking sheet, make sure it has a high side on it
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, add the vanilla then gradually add the granulated sugar, beating all the while
Gently fold in the nuts
Pour the melted butter into the tray then spread the coated nuts over the top evenly
Bake for 40 minutes but take out the oven every 10 minutes and mix. They will look a bit gross when you do this but don’t worry, just trust the process
Take out of the oven after the 40 minutes and leave to cool for 2 minutes
Mix the icing sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock bag, then add the nuts, seal the bag and shake until fully coated
These are absolutely delicious eaten warm but do last well in an air tight container.
