- 1 large egg white
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 275. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

These are fabulous. My husband (who doesn't like nuts is in trouble because he keeps eating them... they are for friends. I didn't have parchment and used wax paper. I kept turning the nuts as they baked. I kept turning them as they cooled also. That seemed to keep them from sticking. They were runny and gooey when I took them out, but cooled to a crispy state. I used xylitol instead of sugar because they are for friends who are diabetic.

These turned out pretty good. I used Splenda, which worked out fine, and almonds for the nuts. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I made my own spice blend with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and garam masala. It was pretty good, but I think it needs either more cayenne or maybe some smoked paprika. It just needed a little bit more of a kick. I did bake them a little longer as some reviewers had suggested. Definitely very easy, and worth making. Just don't be afraid to play around with the spices to make it just the way you like.
Just made this recipe for the second time. I was out of Worcestershire sauce, so I used some soy sauce instead, and I thought it really added a great flavor. Not too salty, and it added a nice savory undertone to the sweet and spicy nuts.

The bottoms of the nuts burned on the first attempt. Will try to make a second batch, but stir the nuts at the 15 minute mark. Hopefully this helps!
