The Perfect Recipe for Snacking

My favorite time of year is Christmas. I love the decorations, snow, family time, and all of the delicious foods. My recipe for these cinnamon sugar pecans reminds me of Christmas every time I make them because of their delicious smell. It relaxes me and makes me happy. Of course, they never last long in my house. I can never seem to keep myself from only eating a few. For this reason, I make them many times throughout the year. They are great to throw in a baggie, in your purse, and eat on the go. They can also be put in decorative jars and given as gifts.

I thought it would be a good idea to bring these pecans along in the car to eat while driving to the beach. They didn't last long because no one could stop eating them.

The recipe is super easy. Since I make them so much, I don't even have to look at a recipe anymore.

Here it is:

Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

In case the name isn't enough to make your mouth water, here is a picture I took after making these cinnamon sugar pecans.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 pound pecan halves
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
2. Combine the egg white and water in a large bowl. Beat until fluffy. Fold in the pecan halves and evenly coat with the egg and water mixture.
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large baggie or bowl. Dust the pecans evenly with the sugar mixture. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool on pan and store them in a clean large baggie or airtight container.

That is it! So easy, right? They are well worth the effort.

I hope you enjoy these pecans as much as I do.

Keep in mind that you can do this for any type of nuts.
