Ingredients

1 large egg white
2/3 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie or chai spice blend
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups assorted mixed nuts
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Directions

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

Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl until frothy. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the spice blend and cayenne pepper. Toss the nuts in the egg white mixture, then stir in the sugar-spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce.

Spoon the nuts onto the prepared baking sheet in small clusters and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely, then break into pieces.

Another lucky find!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This will turn out like brittle if you cook it a little longer. I usually go about 10 minutes longer. Everyones oven is... different. The first time I made it I went by the time suggested. But checking it at the end of that time I thought it could use a little more time. It is very good and I have made it several times and have passed the recipe along. It has gone from one end of the state to the other in about 2 weeks. The parchment paper works good, you just have to let it cool completely. And like the previous gentleman, I didn't make clusters, I just spread it out and then broke it apart to sizes I preferred. That might address the problem of it being too soft if the clusters are too big.Read more

Huge hit at office party
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I never had any problems with this sticking to the paper or being soft. I agree that the trick might be leaving it in the... oven for a few extra minutes. Make sure to let it cool properly. Rather than making clusters, I simply broke it apart after it had cooled. I've had four people ask me for the recipe. I've brought it to work and it's been devoured twice now. Super tasty. Read more

Good snack
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these for my dad who loves spiced nuts and he loved them. They have a nice complex flavor. I had the same issue with... the stickyness on the sheets. Instead of using parchment paper, I placed them directly on a VERY WELL GREASED baking sheet. This makes removal much easier. I also let them cool competely before storing them. I love the flavor and don't mind them being a little chewy. Read more

Delicious and addictive!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I think leaving them in the over for about 10 minutes longer is the trick. It dries them out more and they will not be soft... at all. I let them cool completely before breaking them apart and then leave them out several hours more. Don't seal them up right away or they will soften. I also cut the spice mix and put about 2/3 of what it calls for; that also cuts the stickiness, but not the flavor!Read more

Terrible
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This recipe was terrible and my results after two attempts were the same as the previous reviews. I wastes a massive... container of nuts on this recipe. Granted the flavor is really good, the end result was a sticky mess that made it nearly impossible to remove from the parchment paper. Very dissapointing and surprising this recipe made it into the December issue. Read more

Sticky mess
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made this recipe thinking it was gonna be kinda like the spiced nuts you can buy at the mall kiosks during the holidays.... Instead, I found that the nuts really stuck onto the parchment paper which of course made what i had made quite unedible. Any ideas on what i can do to fix it ?Read more
