Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups mixed nuts
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Coating In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg whites, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
- Step 2: Coat the Nuts Place the mixed nuts in a large bowl. Carefully pour the prepared sugar mixture over the nuts. Toss gently to ensure all nuts are evenly coated with the sweet and spicy mixture.
- Step 3: Cook in a Slow Cooker Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer the coated nuts into the slow cooker and spread them out evenly.
- Step 4: Slow Cooking Set your slow cooker to low and cook the nuts for 2-3 hours. Stir the nuts occasionally throughout cooking to ensure they cook evenly and don’t clump together.
- Step 5: Cooling Once cooking is complete, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the baking sheet, allowing them to cool completely. This step crystallizes the sugary coat and enhances the crunch.
