As I mentioned earlier candied nuts are very easy to make. All you need are some nuts, here I used a mixture of pecans, walnuts and almonds. You can use just one type of nuts or any combination of nuts that you please.

A mixture of sugar, cinnamon and vanilla along with an egg wash that holds it all together. A little mixing and whisking and you have a gourmet candy to give away to your friends and family this holiday season.

You can also omit the cinnamon and vanilla and just make plain candied nuts if you would rather have plain candied nuts.

Put the nuts in a large bowl and set aside. Put the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl, whisking to combine.

Next whisk the egg whites and water until it is frothy, about 2 minutes.

Pour the sugar over the nuts and mix until coated well.

This is how the nuts will look when they are coated well with the sugar mixture.

Spread the nuts out on a cookie sheet and bake.
