Baked Bree has a wonderful recipe for Slow Cooker Sweet & Spicy Nuts. I decided to give them a try last week. The nuts were so delicious. I did add a few sprinkles of Cayenne for that little bit of heat. The Cayenne just made the nuts. The maple syrup, honey and cinnamon were delicious. I think the fresh ground nutmeg made an impact for such a small amount. I loved using the slow cooker. It made the nuts easy to stir, no leaning in to the oven! And I didn't have to worry about burning the nuts. If you love making nuts at Christmas, this is the recipe for you! :)
Have you tried making those nuts with anything but pecans? I've seen similar recipes and they always seem to be a hit but I'm not a pecan pecan person.
