CrockPot Sugared Nuts

[Geri K]

Ingredients

1 lb pecans (or walnuts, cashews, any nut)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:

1. Preheat crock pot on high for 15 minutes.
2. In preheated crock pot stir the nuts and butter until mixed well.
3. Add the powdered sugar, stirring to coat evenly. Cover and slow-cook on HIGH for 15 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat to LOW and slow cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are coated with a crisp glaze (should be about 2 hours).
5. Transfer the nuts to a bowl.
6. In another small bowl, combine the spices and sift them over the nuts, stirring to coat evenly. Let cool before serving.

Great idea to make last minute sugar nut bags to give to family members or other's on your list. Thank you!

You are very welcome. Seems like a simple enough recipe that will be cheaper to make then buying them. I bet they would freeze well too if you want to save some for Christmas.
