Candied Nuts with Cluck and Squeal All Purpose Seasoning & BBQ Rub

Prep: 15 min
Cook: 45 min
Serves: About 6 cups (2 lb nuts)
Cook temp: 300°F / 150°C
Method: Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 lb mixed nuts (pecans and cashews are best; almonds and walnuts work too)
  • 1½ tbsp Cluck & Squeal All Purpose Seasoning & BBQ Rub
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp or more Cluck & Squeal Tasty Hot (optional, but not for us!)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 egg white

Directions

1. Mix the Coating

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, All Purpose and Tasty Hot (if using) with a fork or whisk.

2. Coat the Nuts

In a large bowl, whisk the egg white and water until frothy with soft peaks. Add the nuts and toss to coat, then add the dry mix in stages, mixing well for a thorough coating.

3. Bake & Stir

Preheat the oven to 300°F / 150°C. Spread the nuts on 2–3 parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes with a dampened wooden spatula.

4. Cool & Serve

Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool to room temperature. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & variations

Scale it up. Double or triple everything for larger batches.

Mix your nuts. Pecans and cashews are best, but almonds and walnuts work well too.
