My inspiration for posting this recipe was from one I tried from JAP called Sweet Spiced Nuts by Beth McDaniel. I didn't have all the ingredients to make her recipe verbatim. I tweaked it a bit & doubled it. I'll link the two recipes. *** Oh, this recipe can be halved, but they get gobbled up way too fast and you just end up having to make them again right away. :o)

How To Make holiday spiced nuts

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 250º. Liberally spray 2 jelly roll pans with cooking spray.
  • Step 2
    Combine Splenda, cinnamon, salt, ginger & nutmeg and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Whip egg whites with cold water till foamy & frothy, but not stiff. You don't want to see any peaks. Add spiced Splenda mixture and mix well.
  • Step 4
    Add nuts and stir to coat.
  • Step 5
    Spread nuts evenly on the two jelly roll pans. Try to keep the nuts in a single layer.
  • Step 6
    Bake for up to 2 hours, stirring the nuts about every 30 minutes till they are really dry and toasty. Each time you stir the nuts rotate the pans.
  • Step 7
    Remove from oven and enjoy!!!!! These are super yummy!!!
