Dear WordPress!
Thanks for figuring out all your wacky issues and getting my blog to working again.
Signed,
Really frustrated
How are the Internets today?
I’m great!
Why?
Well because it is payday, and it is also FFwD, and boyhowdie do I have a treat for you…
Okay, okay…Dorie has a treat, but I made it…so there!
I made Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Nuts.
Dorie, ya shoulda added salty in there too, cause the salt…on the verge of being a bit overwhelming. Next time I’ll add just a smackeral less.
Dorie says that you can change up the spices, so I did.
I added some of my prized Vietnamese cinnamon, fresh nutmeg and see that wee red spot up there?
That’s cayenne.
The boy would be proud.
So, you take your nuts and dump them into a slightly beaten egg white.
Mix to coat
Pour on your sugar mixture.
Stir.
Deviate from the recipe by not taking out every individual nut and scraping off the excess egg white,
and just dump the whole mess on the parchment, because patience was not a virtue I was born with.
Bake for 30 minutes and voila…
A snack that can. not. be. resisted.
So much so that they disappeared within an hour and more had to be made.
Doubled in fact.
And I am loath to say that the doubled batch is almost gone.
But I absolutely refuse to tell who ate them all.

LOL – I made these tonight, and I agree that they are irresistable.
Mmm…they look wonderful! I love your close-ups.
Too funny. Love all the “action shots” of items going into the bowl.
My sister makes this for me every Christmas. They are usually gone within two days. Soooo yummy!!
These were the best nuts I ever made. So easy and so delicious. I like the picture of the pouring sugar and the sparkling close-ups of the nuts. Yum!
Ooh, those look great! I might make them this weekend.
I also made these and they were a hit. I like to follow recipes to the letter the first time, and then change it up from there…
Love your photos..what camera do you use? (I am in the market)
I have a Nikon D40X. I love it.
Mmmm, I love making spiced nuts. So simple to make and an excellent goodie to add to a basket of homemade Christmas gifts.
They were awesome!
So sparkly. Of all the D recipes, this is the one I have already made more repeats of.
Trevor Sis. Boom.
I am looking forward to trying this one too:-)they look so good and I KNOW who ate them all:-)))
and aint suprised at all!
Looks around for a secret camera…
How do you know who ate them???
I loved these nuts too! And I will not admit who ate most of them.
I made the same thing; loved them a lot but resisted cause I have company coming and no time to do again! Lucky I doubled the batch so got to sample and have plenty left.
Yours look great despite not taking that time. I didn’t either, but I did mix them up every ten minutes. Came out fine for me and in a fraction of the time, right?
Yep, I ate 2/3 of mine, they were that good. Fortunately, I only made 1/2 a batch. The temptation to make more is calling me. They’ll be my post for next week. I’m glad they were easy so I can make some more.
Yum! I must make these tonight!
Hi Chocolatechic! Love your name! Oh and I adore your action shots! Made me want to lick the screen.
I’ve been having problems with blogspot too. Glad to hear I’m not alone.
They were loved at our house too! I had no patience either!!!
Definitely addictive-funny how they vanish into thin air-I spiced mine up last week with some red pepper flakes..love your photos
I got such a kick out of your post! You photos also kick. Such clean, clear shots! Nice work!
Ha! I didn’t scrape all the excess off either! 🙂 Yours look fantastic!
Been dragging my feet in this group…need to get going again, this might just be the inspiration needed, thanks. And, I would never tell anyone that there were any of these in your house ever. Better make some more.
I just might have to try those. They look scrumdilicious
Or maybe that is scrumpdili-icious
Oops,i forgot to ask how to get the recipe?
So jealous…I love Vietnamese Cinnamon…yum.
Great job! I used a mixture of nuts and pecans were my favourite.
okay, you big mean meanie, WHERE IS THE RECIPE???? You can’t show me pictures like that, and brag about how delicious they are, and not share the recipe! GIVE IT UP!!! ; )
Great photos! I’m making these nuts soon!
Thanks for the spice variation…I’m going to try yours today! I also didn’t separate the nuts in one of my batches and liked them better that way – and easier to make.
Beautiful nuts!!!
Im glad you enjoyed the nuts too! I thought they were super yummy and so easy to make!
These were goooood. Mine weren’t as spicy as i would have liked – more cayenne?
love your action style spicy nuts shots! they look great!
