Sweet and Crunchy Swedish Nuts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Crunchy Swedish Nuts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a mixing bowl and beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

3. Step 3

   This is where the magic begins! Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, a pinch of salt, and a splash of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until you achieve stiff peaks and a glossy mixture that looks like a fluffy cloud.

4. Step 4

   Now, gently fold in the pecan halves, making sure each nut is lovingly coated with the egg white mixture.

5. Step 5

   Next, melt some butter in a 9x13 inch baking pan by placing it in the preheated oven—this will create a deliciously rich base for your pecans.

6. Step 6

   Once the butter is melted and bubbling, evenly spread the coated pecans over the top, letting them soak up that buttery goodness.

7. Step 7

   Bake your creation in the oven for about 30 minutes, stirring and turning the nuts every 8 minutes to ensure they toast evenly.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a beautiful golden brown and the butter is fully absorbed.

9. Step 9

   When the time is up, carefully remove the hot nuts from the oven and transfer them onto a sheet of foil to cool completely.

10. Step 10

    Once cooled, store your delightful pecans in an airtight container, and enjoy them for weeks to come.
