    • Cumin
    • Cayenne pepper - skip if you don't like spicy food

    How to Make Spiced Nuts in a Slow Cooker:

    Step 1. Mix all ingredients 

    Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl or in a slow cooker. Stir to combine.

    Spread the mixed nuts evenly on the bottom of the crock-pot.

    Step 2. Slow Cook at High Heat

    Turn on the slow cooker and select "High" heat for an hour.

    Slow cookers are not all made the same, If you are afraid the nuts will get burnt, you can stir every 20-30 minutes within the first hour and add about 2 tablespoons of water each time if necessary.

    Step 3. Slow Cook at Low Heat

    Continue cooking at low heat for another hour. Be sure to keep stirring every 20 minutes, until the nuts are glazed.

    Step 4.  Let the Nuts Harden Together

    Turn off the heat, remove the lid and let the nuts harden together in a slow cooker. Or, you can transfer the nuts to a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

    Let them cool completely then store in an airtight container.

    Nuts are a great way to enjoy a healthy snack, and they are actually linked to lower cholesterol. With protein, fiber, and the right kind of unsaturated fats, nuts are one of just a handful of healthy snack items.

    Snacks around Christmas and New Years' are key as there’s always family around, and having a few bowls out makes everyone feel more welcome. Also, my family loves college football and watching all of the bowl games, so it goes without saying that there’s a lot of food and drinks consumed during game-days!

      Flavorful. Stayed sticky even on parchment paper on cookie sheet. Sad.

        Mine wasn't sticky, I am not sure of the difference between ours.. maybe next time space out the spiced nuts on the sheet so they don't come together. Let me know if that works for you. Thanks for the feedback.
