Candied nuts

I've been getting a lot of requests for these. They are delicious. I probably eat 1/4 of every batch I make. I've made them with almonds and walnuts, and almonds are by far my favorite.

Candied nuts

1 lb nuts (roasted) - approximately 3 cups.
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
6 TB milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Roast nuts by putting them on a shallow try at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Add sugar, cinnamon, milk and salt to a medium sauce pan. Cook on high for about 10 minutes or until it reaches soft-ball stage- 236 degrees. (If you live at a high elevation like I do here in Utah, it is approximately 232 degrees.) Remove from heat and add vanilla, stir quickly and then add nuts. Stir them around until all the nuts are well coated. Then put them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Separate them with a fork, they will cook quickly.

Eat them quickly, or someone else will. They won't last long. They are THAT good!
