Swedish Nuts

By , About.com Guide

These wonderful sweet, crunchy snacks are the biggest hit with kids. I once made this recipe for my sister's birthday party, and one little boy ate almost the entire batch!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. pecan halves
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup butter

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add salt, then sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold nuts into meringue. Melt butter in 15x10 inch jellyroll pan. Spread coated nuts over butter.

Bake 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until nuts are light brown and all butter is absorbed. Cool and store in airtight container.

Serves 8-10 (or one little boy...)
