The Reason:

I don’t actually remember how we stumbled upon this recipe to begin with. However, I do have a reason for selecting it as this month’s recipe. Originally this was supposed to be last month’s post, because we brought these nuts with us over Christmas, and they were a big hit. At least one person even said they didn’t like nuts, but they liked these. Many people were asking for the recipe, so I wanted to post this one right after Christmas, however, I couldn’t get the pictures due to a combination of a little procrastination and an electrical mishap destroying our oven.

So, without further ado, here’s the recipe. I hope it isn’t too late for anybody who wanted it!

The Journey:

These are actually super easy to make. You just sort of mix everything in a bowl and then bake it. Probably the hardest part is getting an egg white. First you whip the egg white, and then use that to coat the nuts.

After the nuts are coated, you add the rest of the ingredients.

The recipe calls for pecans, which is how Sara likes it best, but I prefer almonds. I don’t think there is a consensus about what’s the best, so I guess it just depends on what you like.

Put everything on a pan and bake it just short of forever, stirring periodically. It doesn’t really start to look like the correct consistency until right at the end, maybe about the last time you stir it.

The Verdict:

Irresistible! If these things are in front of you, you cannot stop eating them. The only way to stop yourself is to not make them in the first place. You’d be amazed at how fast a pound of nuts can disappear!
