Crockpot Snack Nuts
I love to make up a batch of candied nuts at Christmas, and it’s so easy to make them in your crockpot and free up your oven! Almonds and pecans are coated in a sweet and salty spice mix, and you’ll probably want to make a double batch as they are super addictive!

You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
Add the nuts to an oiled Crockpot. Whisk the egg whites and mix in the vanilla, butter and spices. Pour over the nuts and stir to combine. Cook in the Crockpot, stirring every 30 minutes. Add the water . Lay the nuts on parchment paper to let cool.
How long do they keep?
Once the Crockpot candied nuts have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep them out of direct sunlight and they will keep well for up to 3 weeks.
Can you freeze them?
To extend the shelf life of the spiced nuts, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. They can be enjoyed right from the freezer too, no need to defrost them, and they are super yummy like this!
How do you serve them?
I love to set out a few bowls of these for snacking when we are enjoying some drinks, but they are also great to add to salads, baked goods and desserts.
Homemade food gift
