ROASTED CINNAMON SUGAR CANDIED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray. In a medium sized bowl, add the egg white and vanilla. Whisk together until frothy. Add the mixed nuts and stir until coated.
• In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add to the nuts and toss until coated. Spread the nuts evenly on your prepared pan.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes in the oven and stir every 15 minutes until golden. Cool and then store in an airtight container.

CINNAMON SUGAR CANDIED NUTS TRAIL MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Don't skip lining your baking sheet; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the nuts; set aside. I recommend using raw, unsalted nuts but if you can't find them, previously roasted/salted will likely work but monitor baking time and optional salt level.
• In a small bowl, add the egg white, water, and whisk vigorously until very frothy, foamy, and bubbly, about 2 minutes by hand.
• Pour egg mixture over the nuts and stir to coat.
• Add the sugars, cinnamon, optional salt, and stir very well to coat evenly.
• Turn nuts out onto to prepared baking sheet, spreading them in an even flat layer.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once midway through (I baked 28 minutes); don't overbake or nuts can burn. Coating may appear bubbly, possibly a bit runny and loose in the center of tray even when nuts are ready to be pulled from oven, but firms up dramatically as nuts cool. Use your judgment and let your nose and eyes be your guide to doneness.
• Allow nuts to cool on baking tray for at least 2 hours. Ideally, leave nuts on baking tray and exposed overnight as it helps them get extra crispy and crunchy.
• When nuts are cooled completely, sprinkle the dried fruit and baking chips over nuts.
• Use your hands to break apart large clusters and disperse fruit and baking chips throughout.
• Transfer mix to airtight containers, jars, or baggies. Mix will keep airtight at room temperature for at least 1 month.
