SWEDISH NUTS

Now that it is officially after Thanksgiving,  I think it’s about time to share one of my family’s Christmas staples.  My kitchen counter top would feel naked without a jar of these things as a constant fixture.  They seem really fancy because they include egg whites, but seriously these are super easy to make, and they smell like the holidays aka delicious.  I usually use pecans, but I don’t see why you couldn’t use another kind of nut that you prefer.  You get all of that cooked sugar and egg white that makes this caramelized sweet crunch, they are just irresistible… trust me,  you will not be able to stop at just one handful of these.  I have given these in baggies as gifts for years and people always ask for this recipe.  These are super good, make them, everyone you give these to will be your friend 

 Get your egg whites…

Whip your egg whites until they form stiff peaks…

Add sugar to your whipped egg whites…

Whip your sugar and egg whites until they have a glossy look to them…

Add your pecans…

Fold your pecans into the sugar/egg white mixture…

And bake them up until golden brown and delicious…
