I first got these as a "teacher gift" for Christmas almost 30 years ago. Then I just had to track down the mom and beg for the recipe! These make an EXCELLENT food gift for all the people you appreciate and/or love. I usually double the recipe (after buying a large bag of walnuts on sale or at a warehouse store.) I've packaged...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 c white sugar
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
4 c walnut halves
1 egg white

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. (PLEASE note the temperature is THREE HUNDRED degrees! These nuts will burn at a higher temperature. Don't ask how I know this...)
  • 2. Spray a cookie sheet (with sides, unless you're really coordinated) with cooking spray.
  • 3. Stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  • 4. Put the nuts in a large bowl and pour in the egg white. Mix together well. (OK, I admit I mix this recipe up with my hands.)
  • 5. Pour the sugar & cinnamon mixture over the nuts and mix well.
  • 6. Spread in a single layer on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • 7. Bake for about 30 minutes (I check after 25 minutes) until the nuts are toasted and dry. Serve warm or cool completely.
  • 8. Store in an air-tight container.
