Nifs Crunchy Party Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees.
• Have a 15-1/2 X 10-1/2 inch jelly roll pan ready.
• Beat egg whites in a large bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted.
• Gradually add sugar, beating until whites are stiff and glossy.
• Stir in butter; add nuts and toss to coat well.
• Spread in ungreased pan.
• Bake 1 hour or until meringue is dry, stirring every 15 minutes to separate nuts.
• Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
• Store tightly covered at room temperature up to 2 months.
• (If they last that long!).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a cookie sheet with tin foil (I use the nonstick kind). Arrange Stoned Wheat Thins to cover entire bottom of tray.
• Heat butter and brown sugar in small pot on medium heat. Bring just to a boil, stirring often. Pour evenly over crackers. Bake for 5 minutes immediately after adding hot butter mixture.
• Once removed from oven, immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Wait a couple of minutes and spread melted chocolate over baked crackers. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over chocolate right away so they will stick.
• Let cool and put tray in fridge. After about an hour or two (when solid), break into "chunks" and serve.
• Store in fridge.
