These absolutely irresistible little bites are pecan halves topped with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt (plus an egg white for sticking). I usually make them in the slow cooker (with this candied walnuts recipe), and it takes three hours of cooking, stirring every 20 minutes, to crisp them to perfection.

- In your mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until light and fluffy.
- Gently fold the walnuts into the egg whites. Add the sugars, cinnamon and salt.
- Place the mixture in the fryer basket. Turn fryer on at 325°F for 8 minutes; halfway through, stir in nuts.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Spread the walnuts in the pan and spread them out in a single layer. Let the nuts cool for 15 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container.
