I made these today & they are absolutely delicious! They are a perfect snack for Fall. I used all pecans instead of the almonds and walnuts. I will definitely be making these again, thanks! =)

Thank you for the wonderful videos! Please tell me why my sugared nuts always seem to have a "gritty" texture. I followed the recipe exactly. Is that the way they are supposed to be?? Help!!

[bettyskitchen]

They should seem like the nuts are crusted over with a salty/sugary crust. I wouldn't call it "gritty," but it's not smooth, either. These will be chunky nuts when properly made.

I just noticed on your sidebar you have listed, one cup of butter but in your video, you say one stick of butter, which is 1/2 cup not 1 cup. Which is correct? I'm betting it is one stick of butter.

[bettyskitchen]

You're right! It is 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup). I will change that in the side bar. Thanks for alerting me!

I was just looking for something like this to use up all the pecans someone gave me. I'll get back to you on how they turned out. I may tweak it a bit to get a more savory, sweet taste.

[bettyskitchen]

This recipe is *delicious*--a great use for using up pecans! Feel free to add some herbs/spices, although it it terrific, as is! Thanks for your lovely comment!

Can you substitute cashews or maybe hazelnuts for one or two of the nuts? This looks great and would be good around a holiday. Thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, substitute any nuts that you like better--just keep the ratio 3 cups of nuts for the amount of egg white and sugar mixture. I typically think of these as holiday treats, too! Thanks for viewing!
