A fun Recipe

Here is a quick recipe i've discovered for a fun snack to cook.

Ingredients:
Mixed nuts (I prefer peanuts, cashews and almonds, but pretty much any type of nuts will do)
Egg whites
Sugar
Vanilla extract
Almond extract

The exact proportions don't seem to matter much, but I take the egg white and mix in enough sugar to create a liquidy paste, and then add the two extracts for flavor.  Next, add the nuts to the paste and mix, shake etc. until fully coated. next spread out the nuts on a coated flat pan (I use parchment paper).  Bake for approximately 10 minutes at 400 degrees (untill the sugar carmalizes).  Remove from the oven and allow the nuts to cool.  Remove from the pan and enjoy!

It seems to be a very forgiving recipe, so give it a shot and enjoy a great snack!
