Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 2 cups Walnuts
- 2 Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and vanilla extract until frothy.
Add the pecans and walnuts to the egg white mixture, and stir until the nuts are well coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Pour the sugar mixture over the coated nuts and mix until the nuts are evenly covered in the sugar-spice blend.
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker (or use a slow cooker liner) and transfer the sugared nuts to the slow cooker.
Drizzle the melted butter over the nuts and gently toss to coat.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 3 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes to prevent sticking or burning.
After 3 hours, spread the nuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. They will harden as they cool, forming a crisp coating.
Once cool, transfer the sugared pecans and walnuts to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or share them as a gift!
