However, you can simply make candied pecans, almonds, or cashews—depending on which nuts you have in the pantry.

Candied spiced nuts are a wonderfully addictive holiday treat and I love the slow cooker method for making them!

How to Make Crock Pot Candied Nuts

Here’s what you’ll need to get started! As always, our complete recipe with a detailed ingredients list can be found at the bottom of this post.

granulated white sugar
light brown sugar
ground cinnamon
egg whites
vanilla
almonds
cashews
pecans

As I mentioned, you can use any mix of nuts that you prefer. My husband prefers candied pecans, and I like caramelized almonds!

Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together sugars and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a small bowl, beat egg whites and vanilla until a little frothy.

Place the nuts in your crock pot.

Pour egg white mixture over the nuts, and stir until nuts are well-coated.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over nuts and stir until coated. Cover; cook on low heat setting for 3 hours, stirring the nut mixture every 20 minutes.

When 20 minutes are left, pour 1/4 cup warm water into your slow cooker and stir everything well.

Finally, spread your crock pot candied spiced nuts on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat to cool until dry.

Crock Pot Candied Nuts Tips

Be sure to spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray before adding the ingredients. This will save you a lot of mess when it’s time to clean up!

Line a baking sheet with nonstick paper (waxed or parchment) or a silicone baking mat. Furthermore, this will be a timesaver when it’s time to clean up your yummy mess.

Next, allow your candied spiced nuts cool very well before removing from the sheet.

I love adding nuts to a pretty glass jar. Unique edible gifts like this one are great for Christmas.

Decorate your glass jar with a pretty ribbon and a gift tag. In addition, you could also put them in cute little holiday bags all tied up with a ribbon!

Y’all… these easy candied nuts are SO GOOD. You’re going to be thanking me for this easy dessert recipe! Looking for another delicious and festive dessert? Try my retro lunch lady brownies.

Does anyone know if you use salted or unsalted nuts, and if these are already roasted or raw nuts?
