Yield:
2 pounds of Swedish Nuts
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Lightly brown the walnut and pecan pieces on a 10 x 15 pan in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, ensuring they achieve a beautiful golden hue.
-
Prepare the Meringue: While the nuts are browning, beat the egg whites stiff, and gradually add the salt and sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks, creating a fluffy meringue.
-
Melt Butter: In a separate pan, melt the butter in the oven until it’s completely liquefied, ready to be incorporated into the nut mixture.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the nuts are lightly browned and the butter is melted, carefully stir the browned nuts into the meringue mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated and incorporated.
-
Bake the Nuts: Transfer the nut mixture onto the buttered pan, spreading it out evenly, and return it to the oven. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes, remembering to stir the mixture every 10 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even baking.
-
Check for Doneness: The nuts are ready when they turn a beautiful golden brown color, and there is no butter remaining in the pan, indicating that they have crisped up perfectly.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the Swedish Nuts to cool completely before indulging in their irresistible crunchiness. Once cooled, transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy this delectable treat with family and friends!
Whether you’re serving them at a holiday gathering or enjoying them as a cozy snack at home, these Swedish Nuts are bound to become a favorite in your recipe collection. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to savor the delightful flavors of this easy-to-make recipe!
