Crock Pot Sweet and Spicy Nuts
Ingredients for Sweet and Spicy Nuts
- Butter
- Pecan halves
- Almonds
- Pure maple syrup
- Kosher salt
- Cayenne pepper
Equipment
Crockpot - We suggest using a crockpot that has a digital timer that automatically switches the slow cooker to warm after a set amount of time. This helps make sure your dinner cooks perfectly and you don't have to stress about what time it is going to be done.
Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.
Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}

How long will these keep in an air tight jar?

Tammilee, I bet it was frustrating for you that this recipe wasn't coming up (beautiful pictures, though). I kept clicking everything in the 'Filed Under:" reference and when I clicked on Gifts in a Jar, I was able to locate the recipe. Yeahhh! I'm making these as little gifts in decorated bags for our Women's Ministry lunch. Wish you could see how pretty they are. Thanks for sharing this easy, yummy recipe.

I have repeatedly gone to your website to print out the recipe of the candied walnuts and the recipe itself is not there. It only shows the photo but no recipe.
