Yep, this is an old recipe. I don’t remember why the serving size is so tiny! Must have been seen as a tiny snack in my mind … In any event, nuts vary in size, shape, clump size, etc. According to the math and weights, if you have a scale, you can weigh out the portions. At 12 servings, for this recipe, each portion would weigh about 39 g. or about 1 1/3 oz. Not a big portion, but … as a quick snack in the middle of the day, it’ll satiate, for sure. I hope this helps!

Just curious, cuz it looks as though they would be hard to put down. I would want to portion them out properly for a work snack.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks- Heather

Hi Heather, to be perfectly honest … I’m not sure. They’ve never really lasted long enough to find out. They’re always gobbled up, too quickly! I wouldn’t worry about the egg, though. They are dried out. If you think about it, cookies and breads … and even things like crispy meringues, which are almost all dried egg white … they can sit out for days, as long as there is no moisture. I’d keep them in an airtight plastic bag and I’d bet that they’d last at least a week, but … almost certainly longer. I just really hate to guess. I wish I had more for you. Sorry! :/

Hi Gail, this is an entire website devoted to the idea that “regular sugar” is pretty much the worst thing in the world (not really, but you see my point). I’m not really sure how to handle this question. I suppose I might say … I don’t know that it’s worth the risk …

Yeah, I’ll go with that. 😉

Honestly, I’m not sure. Probably, but I am genuinely concerned that the sugar runs the risk of burning. You could try it and just keep a careful eye on it, but baked sugar coated treats can be a challenge. They’re somewhat hard to control. Again, it could potentially work, but … I don’t know that it’s worth the risk.

*cue the foreboding music*

I’ve made candied pecans and stir them every 15 minutes, but these look a bit different. Wasn’t sure if you stirred them around. Thanks!

Thanks so much. This was my first recipe to make of yours. Lots of great looking things I’m gearing up to try.
