SWEDISH NUTS


***WARNING ADDICTING RECIPE***

These are a family favorite. I found this recipe YEARS ago on ALLRECIPES.COM and everyone loves them!!

2 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 pinch salt (I use a pinch or two)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 pound pecans
1/2 cup butter

Melt butter, place in deep baking pan (glass dish or jelly roll pan)

Beat egg whites until soft peaks begin to form
add sugar, salt and vanilla
beat until stiff peaks form and turn glossy
fold in nuts and coat well with egg white mixture

Bake 30 minutes @ 325, turning nuts every 6-8 minutes until no butter remains in the pan. Place on foil or parchment paper and allow to cool.

May be stored in an airtight container for several weeks, but don't worry, they will be gone in several days!!
**You may also use WALNUTS too. I mixed up walnuts and pecans this year. YUM!!
