Bavarian Nuts

Submitted By: Klaudene Gourley

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups pecans, walnuts, almonds, or mixture of all
• 1 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine

Instructions

Fold sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if desired) into beaten egg whites. Beat again until stiff peaks form. Fold nuts into meringue.

Melt butter in a large (11-x-15-inch), flat jellyroll pan. Spread nut mixture on top. Bake at 300° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until all nuts are coated with brown covering and no butter remains in pan.
Cool and store in an air-tight container.
