This is by far my favorite fall and winter treat to have available, and makes an incredible food gift to anyone without an allergy--for the holidays or any occasion! Store cooled nuts in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 2 large egg whites, at room temperature

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Beat egg whites with salt in a bowl until frothy; add sugar gradually, beating to stiff peaks. Gently fold in pecans, almonds, and cinnamon. Pour mixture onto a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan, drizzle melted butter over top, and toss to coat.
