- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 cups shelled walnuts
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 bag peanut M&M's optional but recommended
First and foremost, liberally grease your slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the nuts in the slow cooker and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and vanilla until combined. Drizzle over the nuts in the slow cooker and use a spoon to toss the nuts in the egg white mixture until coated.
Meanwhile, in a larger bowl, combine the sugars and spices and stir to combine. Pour over the nuts and gently toss to coat.
Turn the slow cooker on LOW and cook for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. During the last 20 minutes of cook time, drizzle in the water and toss to coat. Once nuts are done, spread onto a foil-lined baking sheet to dry and cool. Sprinkle with M&M's as they cool or after, up to you. Break into clusters and serve.
