Recipe: Coffee Candied Walnuts (using ground coffee and cinnamon)

COFFEE CANDIED WALNUTS

2/3 up sugar
2 tbsp coffee, finely ground
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg white
2 cups walnuts
Sea salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray.

In a bowl stir together sugar, coffee grounds, cinnamon, and salt.

In another bowl, beat egg white until frothy. Coat walnuts with egg white. Then, pour coated walnuts into the sugar-coffee mixture and stir until well-coated. Spread into a single layer on baking sheet.

Bake 5 minutes. Stir. Bake another 5 minutes (walnuts should be dry (no longer moist from the egg white) when completely cooked).

Sprinkle with sea salt. Cool and store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
