I know they are basically nuts covered with egg whites and rolled in cinnamon & sugar, but I am not sure of the proportions or if anything else needs to be done. Thanks. I never buy Meshuggah Nuts. The name is too cute and cute names have a tendency to scare me away. I got this recipe from my sister. She calls it Swedish Nuts. I see no reason why you couldn't add cinammon if you want. Kay 4 cups of toasted nuts: any combination of blanched almonds, walnut halves, pecan halves, and/or cashews 2 egg whites l cup sugar Dash of salt 1/2 cup sweet butter Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. Beat in sugar and salt until smooth and glassy. Fold nuts into egg whites. Melt butter in large baking pan. Spread nut mixture over pan. Bake 25 minutes, stirring half way through and at the end, until no butter remains in the pan and nuts are evenly coated and browned. Cool.
