I'm just sure I saw a recipe here somewhere for candied and/or spicy nuts. I was hoping to make something like this as a quick recipe demo for my cluster. I figure I'll be able to use the Pink Flexible Scraper and the Mini Measure-All and serve them in the Pink Small SA Bowls.

So, can anyone out there lend a girl a hand?

TIA!
 
Rae, are you referring to the Pepper Glazed Pecans? The recipe is on page 8 of the fall/winter 06 SBRC. DO you have that?

I do! Thanks.
 
I love this recipe that I got on here...Sweet Glazed Pecans1 egg white
1-8 oz. package pecan halves
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. PC cinnamon
Combine all ingredients and bake at 350 degrees on parchment lined bar pan for 18-20 minutes
 
And these are so addictive!!!

I also like to make them with some cinn + blend in place of the pepper - they are great both ways!

This is the recipe I use...using PC cinnamon or the cinnamon plus blend depending on my mood. I think I like the cinnamon plus one even better! This is off of one of my FAVORITE recipe sites: allrecipe.com!
