Cinnamon Sugared Nuts

Submitted by Bella Rachelle

"I've bought these nuts at flea markets & the Mall but I could never find a recipe that I liked that duplicated the flavor & consistency until I found this recipe. They are addictive!! ****If you are doubling the recipe only use 1/2-3/4 cup butter, 1 cup is too much****"

A great recipe! I agreed with the rater who suggested that 1/2 c. butter might be too much for 1 lb. of nuts. I used 1/4 c. and think it turned out just fine. Thank you for sharing!

I LOVE this recipe. Its so good that you can't stop eating. I used 2 lbs of nuts, with 1/2 cup butter, and 3 egg whites. This worked great for me. I also used 3/4 cup dark brown sugar and it was sweet enough. Big hit as gifts for the holidays!
