Candied Almonds
2 egg whites (at room temp)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1-2 tspn vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup butter melted then cooled to room temp
1- 1 1/2 lbs nuts
I used almonds for this recipe and I used about 5 cups of almonds and it was perfect.
beat egg whites until they have soft peaks when beater is lifted from bowl. Beat in brown sugar 1/4 cup at a time, vanilla, and cinnamon until stiff peaks form, and they are glossy. Slowly fold in melted butter. Fold in nuts until well coated. Pour nuts out onto ungreased jelly roll pan (or a cookie sheet for all you out there that didn't know it was the same thing!). Bake at 275 for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes to keep the nuts separate.
As they cool stir them also to keep them separate. Make 2 batches cuz you're gonna want to eat a whole one yourself!

I have tried these a couple of times. I burned the first batch, so the second, I turned the oven down a notch and set the timer for 15 minutes, and followed the recipe to a T. They were perfect, except I thought they tasted a little too "eggy" No one else agreed with me and loved them. So I tried them one more time using only one egg white. This time, the sugar mixture didn't stick as well. SO, I tried to mess with it, but you have it right! Thanks!
