Slow Cooker Candied Nuts
I like giving spiced nuts as holiday gifts. This slow cooker recipe with ginger and cinnamon is so good, you just might use it all year long. —Yvonne Starlin, Westmoreland, Tennessee

I thought 1/2 cup butter was way too much. Butter also burns. I used egg whites to coat the nuts. Worked much better.
I followed the recipe exactly. These turned out bland and undercooked with butter dripping off of them. I’m going to try the rack in the oven trick to dry them out. Otherwise, a waste of time and money!
This was a disappointment. The nuts don't taste good, not sweet enough, and I suspect they are a little burned. I faithfully watched them and stirred every 30 minutes. It is a shame to lose about $20 worth of fancy nuts.
Too much butter. Won't dry. Have them on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet in a 300 degree oven now. Hope for the best.
These are AWESOME!!! I did add a bit of salt and pepper. Used my 9X12 Crock pot. (it is an oblong flat crock pot unit). Cut down to 1/4 cup of butter. Cook on low Stir after 1 hour. Continue cookiing another hour. Put on parchment paper to cool. Big hit a Christmas party! YuM!!!
Very good! I've made these twice and noticed that letting them cool on wax paper they have a tendency to really stick especially where there is a decent amount of "syrup" left over in spots. I may try putting them on a cooling rack with wax paper underneath so they completely drain off. ??
Wonderful flavor. Especially after adding salt and pepper. Ceyenne would be even better but I didn't have any. However, I can't figure out how to dry them.
I’d like to give it one star but that seems a little harsh. The nuts burned at the two hour mark and I had the slow cooker on low. I also stirrred it . I put them out on parchment paper and with so much butter, many of the nuts remained oily.
Can I use can of mixed nut ok
Just wondering if you could use a diabetic sugar to make these candied nuts
