** I don't use grapeseed oil. I always substitute butter in her recipes when it calls for grapeseed oil. In this recipe I used 2 TBSP butter and 2 TBSP coconut oil. I used chopped almonds, and added dark choc chips. I also used a pie dish because I could not find my 8X8 pan.


Glazed Nuts: I have been dying for these!

Now I can have them sugar free! :)

1 egg white

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/8 cup perrier

1/2 cup splenda or sweetner of choice

2 cups nuts

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Wisk egg white until frothy.

Add perrier and wisk until frothy again.

Add salt, cinnamon, sugar and nuts.

Stir until completely coated.

Pour out onto a nonstick cookie sheet,

so they are one layer thick.

Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours,

until liquid is absorbed,

and they are shiny and crispy.

Mine took an hour. Stir half way thru.

These are so good,

and the house smells good too!

You can double/quadruple this recipe.
