Hi here is a healthier option for anyone who is interested.
Stevia Coated Nuts While this recipe is focused on using peanuts, you are welcome to use any nut of your choice. That included almonds, cashews, or even mixed nuts. Subbing in another extract for your Vanilla Extract is a nice way to add more flavor in this recipe. There are other great extracts to try such as maple or (I just noticed this one) cake batter flavor extract. Spicing up your Stevia coated nuts in another yummy way to personalize them. I like Pumpkin Pie Spice, Allspice, nutmeg, or even ground cinnamon for this recipe. SINCE THIS RECIPE CALLS FOR STEVIA AND NOT SUGAR, YOU MAY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. Stevia does not caramelize the same way that sugar does. However, this difference should not have an effect on your sugar free sugared nuts. Ingredients 4 tablespoons of the granular Stevia or 1/2 cup of the Stevia sugar equivalent. 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract. 2 1/2 tablespoons Water 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1 1/4 cup Nuts Instructions 1. Prepare a cookie sheet with sides by lining it with parchment paper. Set this aside as you will need it later on. 2. In a 2 quart pot or small pan, combine the Stevia,Vanilla Water, and salt. Cook this on medium until it begins to boil. You will need to stir this as well as it cooks. 3. When pot begins to boil, toss in the nuts and continue to toss until nuts appear to caramelize. 4. Remove the nuts from the heat and carefully (as they will be hot) spread the nuts out on the cookie sheet that you prepped in the first step of these directions. Allow to cool. 5. An option, while the nuts are cooling, you can sprinkle additional sweetener, smaller seeds, or cinnamon on them for additional tastes.
