Delicious Nuts!

[fitdiva]

OK...I am new to this board but I love to cook and have a few cool recipes up my sleeve, some I have got from other people in the industry and others I have invented.
This one I find great for when I am craving and want something crunchy. You can try this with pecans or almonds probably almost any nut.

-Whip or beat in large bowl until frothy: 3 egg whites
-Throw in: 8 oz. of unsalted pecans (1 cup)
-Stir
-Add 1/2 -1tsp of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon if that is all you have
-1/2 Cup of baking splenda
-Vanilla and/or almond extract (the almond extract makes it taste rich)
-Stir
-Spread on cookie sheet covered with wax paper
-Bake for about 20 min on 350 degrees

Great to store in the fridge when you are having a little craving!

No problem guys...Just make sure you froth the egg whites or it won't turn out quite the same.

You have to let me know how it turns out. I am confident you'll love it!!!
