With all of the holiday excitement going on, I thought it would be a nice idea if the kiddos actually got to help make some of the treats. Some children could make these completely unsupervised…. but use your best judgement! Some of these may be very familiar, and others of you may have tasted these, but never made them before – give them a try!

Assembly Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease a 15”x10” rimmed baking sheet. In a medium sized bowl, add the water to the egg white and beat together until foamy. Add the nuts and stir to coat them well. Sift together the sugar, salt and cinnamon, or stir until well mixed. Add the sugar mixture to the nuts and toss with a spoon until well coated. Spread coated nuts on baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for one hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet. When cool, break apart any nuts that are stuck together. Store in a tightly sealed container.
Freezing Directions:
These freeze well, but they may be stored at room temperature for a month.
Serving Directions:
Thaw and eat!
