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!

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.
