Description

Directions

• Warm up your slow cooker on high. (No need to spray down or line your slow cooker as this cleans very easily if cooked correctly.)
• Place the butter in the slow cooker with the lid on and allow to melt. Once the butter is completely melted, add in the almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Stir until well mixed.
• Add in the powdered and brown sugar and stir again until well combined. Spread the nuts evenly.
• Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to low keeping the lid on.
• Stir every 20-25 minutes returning the lid each time. Cook for a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your slow cooker. Mine took 2 hours.
• Turn off the heat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger.
• Pour over the nuts and mix evenly.
• Transfer the nuts to a baking tray and lay out to completely cool/dry.
• If desired, top the nuts with a sprinkle of sea salt (I love sweet and salty!)
