   Mix well. One egg white in a mixing bowl, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon water. Whip with a whisk until foamy. About 1 minute.4
5. 5
   Add one pound of raw nuts and mix until nuts are coated. I used almonds, but pecans or walnuts would be great also.

   Add the sugar mixture to the nuts and mix to coat.
7. 7
   Pour the nuts onto the parchment paper covered pan and spread into a single layer.
