10 Step Candied Nuts by Seashell Reviews Date of last review 22 Thu August 13, 2009 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 82% of reviewers None indicated 9.1 supersize Description: Great for the kids to snack on! Good on salads! Good to bring to pot lucks - never a nut left! Crush up and use for crusts! Good for a quick cure for sweets! Great on ice cream! Ingredients: 12 oz. Nuts (I use pecans, walnuts and/or almonds) 1/2 cup powdered Splenda 1/2 cup Davinci Syrup (any flavor is good) 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted 1 tsp spice (I use cinnamon) you can use more spices if desired. Small bowl Medium bowl Cookie sheet, lightly greased How To Prepare: 1. Preheat oven to 350F. 2. Mix Splenda and spice(s) together in a small bowl. 3. Put pecans and butter in bowl and toss until nuts are thoroughly coated. 4. Add syrup to bowl and toss until nuts are coated. (the nuts will soak up the syrup) 5. Slowly sprinkle spice into bowl, tossing until nuts are coated evenly. 6. Slowly sprinkle Splenda into bowl, tossing until nuts are coated evenly. 7. Pour contents of bowl onto cookie sheet, forming one even layer. 8. Bake 30 minutes, then begin tossing the nuts every 10 minutes to provide even baking and to avoid burning. (Do a taste test at 30 minutes, the nuts should be crisp, if they are soft, keep baking!) 9. Bake 10-30 more minutes, until nuts are crisp. 10. Serve warm or cool on cookie sheet, then serve! Number of Servings: depends on the nuts used Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: Depends on nuts - very low Preparation Time: 5 minutes Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy seashell Junior LCF Member   Posts: 55 Registered: January 2005 see this user's products

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): too good to be true! Cons: impossible to eat just a few Ah, Seashell, you came up with a good one! I wasn't paying much attention to the instructions and accidently put all in one bowl and combined it at once but these are still the best candied nuts I have ever had!! Thank you for posting this recipe! Used walnuts with the hazelnut syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamen and nutmeg. Awesome! Your Chat Buddy, Tippy Toes

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I just made these again but this time I coated the nuts with an egg white. This made the nuts shine and a little more crisp. I also made it with the caramel Davinci, wonderful flavor!

	Review Date: Sun July 6, 2008 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): suuuuper good Cons: i burnt my first batch. . . I had to make 2 batches.. the first was a little burnt.. the second.. was fantastic!!! I cant believe how good they are, I had to do a little research on the Davinci stuff though, I found mine at our local super Walmart in the coffee isle... I'm sure if my little podunk town has it then most wally worlds will carry it. I got the sugar free caramel syrup and used cinnamon spice they are so good! Great recipe!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Outstanding taste! Cons: Gotta watch the portions... Thank you so much for posting this! Outstanding! I made them with a whipped egg white as well and they were nice and crunchy. My only problem with them is I reallly have to watch myself on the portions. They're soooo good!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I ran this through FitDay for some nutritional info. I had trouble with the carb count for the DaVinci, but did find a suggestion that it was .4/Tbls, so I used that figure. Pecans only (per batch): 42 net carbs, 57g. Protein, 245g. fat Pecans/Almonds (per batch): 47 net carbs, 55g. Protein, 216g. fat So, yeah, I gotta watch the portions! (My SO went through a half batch in about 20 minutes yesterday. They're so good!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I forgot to add...I forgot to put the butter in the last batch I made. Personally, I thought they were even better. The FitDay calculations DO NOT include butter (which would not effect the net carbs anyway.)

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: This is a HIT! I bought higher fiber almonds at Trader Joe's ( only 1 carb per 1/4 cup), and used powdered erythritol and Torani hazlenut, plus pumpkin pie spice. They turned out so good! I can't believe how sugary they are! And mine are only 10 grams of carbs for the whole batch! Thanks Seashell!

No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy prep time Cons: expensive recipe to try I was so disappointed in this recipe. I did exactly what the directions and started baking the nuts and tossing them after 10 mins. The second time I tossed the nuts they were burned and I had to throw the entire batch away.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): crunchy, sweet, easy, yummy Cons: i baked too long and got a bit burnt This was awesome! I used salted butter because I like the salty/sweet thing. Using carmel flavored syrup would be even better! I cooked them a bit too much and got a teensy bit burnt but still so good - definitely curbs my crunchy sweet cravings.
