CINNAMON ROASTED NUTS
These are very similar to the cinnamon nuts sold at fairs. I only prepare when I'm having guests because they are seriously ADDICTIVE. But if you have willpower, they also freeze well.

Steps:
- If your nuts are salted, rinse them well, pat dry and place on a cookie sheet in a single layer in a warm (200F) oven. Turn oven OFF and leave to dry overnight. They must be totally dry before proceeding with the recipe. Otherwise, you'll have rubbery nuts.
- Whisk together water, sugar, vanilla and spices in a nonstick dutch oven.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. It will form a syrup.
- Cook syrup until it spins a thread from end of spoon when spoon is lifted (about 6 - 7 minutes).
- Add the nuts. Stir to coat nuts with syrup. The nuts will clump together in a mass.
- Stir constantly until syrup evaporates and sugar crystallizes on the nut, about 10 minutes. Do not turn up the heat to try to speed it up - you'll just burn it. Keep stirring, they will begin to dry out and will separate.
- Pour out onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Allow to cool completely. Store in zip top freezer bag.
- To clean the pan: Allow the pan to cool, then add cold water and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 10 minutes.

SWEET AND SALTY CINNAMON NUTS
This is one of my favorite recipes to make when I need to make a snack really quick. I have made these nuts a couple of times and packaged them for Christmas gifts. They also make a good snack on a cold evening. I often make a double batch and use both pecans and walnuts. Salt can be varied depending on how salty you would like them to be. This recipe was originally from a really old Betty Crocker cookbook, but I varied it a little.

CHILE-CINNAMON BRITTLE WITH MIXED NUTS
This savory, barely sweet, recipe is my take on a basic peanut brittle I was given as a gift from a friend. She made it from a Jacques Torres recipe. I adapted the recipe to include mixed nuts, chili, cinnamon and a bit less corn syrup. I also roast the nuts to develop their flavor before using them in the candy brittle.

Steps:
- 1. Combine all ingredients,except nuts. Stir and dissolve mixture over medium heat.
- 2. Add nuts and continue to cook and stir until nuts are completely sugared with no syrup is left in the pan.
- 3. Spread out on non stick foil and let cool and dry.
Tips:
- Choose the right nuts. For cinnamon nuts, use whole nuts that are not too large or too small. Roasted nuts work best, as they have a more intense flavor.
- Use a flavorful cinnamon. Ground cinnamon is the most common type of cinnamon, but you can also use Ceylon cinnamon or Saigon cinnamon for a more complex flavor.
- Use a consistent coating. When coating the nuts in cinnamon sugar, make sure that the coating is even and consistent. This will help to ensure that the nuts are evenly flavored.
- Bake the nuts at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the nuts from burning and will allow the cinnamon sugar to caramelize.
- Store the nuts in an airtight container. This will help to keep the nuts fresh and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon nuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or treat. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just enjoying at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of cinnamon nuts that everyone will love.
