Sweet Spiced Nuts Sugar Free

Submitted by marypatlaver

"I found a fabulous sweet spicy nut recipe here on Food.com that used sugar. Since I'm a low-carb gal I altered that recipe slightly, replacing the sugar with Swerve, which is a granular Erythritol. You could also use the Truvia granular. I guess you could use Splenda granular but they would have a funny after-taste. Also feel free to use whatever nuts you love. This is just what I love. These sweetly spiced nuts are soooo yummy!!! They look & taste just like the sugary version."

I'm going to try this recipe today. However, I'll be using Splenda as sugar alcohols do not agree with me. I'll use pumpkin pie spice and some vanilla in the egg white mixture. I'll let everyone know how they turn out.<br/><br/>Later.....<br/><br/>I made these nuts however, I changed the recipe around.<br/><br/>To the egg white I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. I used Splenda instead of the sugar alcohol. I also used pumpkin pie spice in place of all the spices called for. I used walnuts, almonds and peanuts for the nut mixture. I had company tonight and they all raved about the spiced nuts and asked for the recipe. So, this one is a keeper!
