Frosted Nuts

A classic favorite, you can make delicious frosted nuts with ease. This simple step by step recipe will show you how.

Ingredients

#4515 Imitation Vanilla
Water
2.5 lbs. Nuts (Use almonds, pecans, or roasted peanuts with the skins removed).

Directions

Make a vanilla water solution of 3 parts water to 1 part Gold Medal Imitation Vanilla (#4515).
Separate out 12oz. of the vanilla water solution to add into the machine with the frosted nut mix and a minimum of 4 to 6oz. for when the buzzer sounds.
Turn on the Pralinator heat switch and add 2.5 LBS of nuts (you can use almonds, pecans, or roasted peanuts with the skins removed).
Add the contents of a 24oz. package of #4501 Frosted Nut Mix and 12oz. of the vanilla water.
Allow to heat and mix until the buzzer sounds.
At the buzzer, the nuts can be finished in two ways:
- Spray on vanilla water until the buzzer stops to produce a consistent coat with a matte finish.
- Pour on 4-6 oz of vanilla water to produce a glossy, variable finish.
Dump the frosted nuts onto a cooling tray (such as item #4140 18” x 26” aluminum pan), separate and allow to cool 10 minutes before serving or packaging.
