Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1.5 Tablespoons Cinnamon
  • 1 Egg White
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 cups Pecans or almonds, cashews or walnuts
  • ¼ cup Water

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a separate, bowl whisk together egg white and vanilla until it becomes a little frothy.
  • Place pecans into a slow cooker prepared with cooking spray. ( I used a 4.5 qt crockpot for this single batch). Pour egg white mixture over pecans and stir until nuts are evenly coated.
  • Next sprinkle cinnamon sugar over pecans, and stir until nuts are all coated well with sugar. Cook covered on LOW for 3 hours, stirring every 2o minutes. When 20 minutes are left, pour 1/4 cup of water into the crockpot and stir. This will make a the outer shell nice and crunchy.
  • When cooking time is up, spread nuts out on a cookie sheet to cool for 15/20 minutes.
