Hello Pals!
After I initially made this recipe I used to be on a giant almond kick so I made them with simply almonds. Since then, I’ve tweaked and up to date the recipe and located that making them with pecans is definitely my favourite, adopted by a mixture of almonds and pecans, however in the event you’re a walnut lover you would undoubtedly throw these in as properly.
Candy and Spicy Blended Nuts

These nuts are literally impressed by the candy and spicy pecans from Dealer Joe’s that I completely love. After I first tried to recreate them, I simply targeted on the candy and spicy. I attempted utilizing sriracha – don’t try this Then I attempted simply cayenne pepper, which labored alright.
However after many makes an attempt, the key appears to be within the mixture of spices. Mixing cinnamon, ginger and cinnamon on the candy facet with chili powder and cayenne pepper on the spicy facet offers them a depth of taste that I like!

Notes
I’ve up to date this recipe to enhance it however right here’s the unique recipe – 3 cups uncooked nuts (I used almonds, walnuts & pecans, 1 egg white + 1 Tablespoon water + 1/4 cup sugar + 1.5 tsp cayenne pepper
These are addicting! I’d undoubtedly advocate the parchment paper- makes cleanup a breeze! Be happy to regulate the sugar and spice to your liking. These should not overly candy however they’re excellent for me. The sweetness hits you first and the spice kicks in later! You may simply enhance the sugar from 1/3 to 1/2 cup.
These make an awesome present for the vacations! Make a double batch and cut up them up into cute vacation luggage or mason jars and voila! Want extra home made present concepts? Try these Edible Christmas Gift Ideas.
