SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS
I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots.

WET NUTS ICE CREAM TOPPING
Even plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream is special with this topping. Buying this at the store is so expensive! Make your own and save. Store in the refrigerator; keeps for several weeks. Cooking time included in preparation time because of stirring. If you like the texture to be a bit crunchy, bake the nuts in a 350ºF oven for 5-7 minutes first. NOTE: Adding a tablespoon of Wet Nuts to your morning bowl of oatmeal is an easy way to sweeten it and add texturel!
