Are those Glazed Nuts or Spiced Nuts that they sell in EPCOT?

[bethie]

I have seen many different recipes for making both Glazed Nuts and Spiced Nuts. I just want to duplicate the ones they sell in EPCOT in the paper cones. I am thinking they are glazed. Does anybody know what I am talking about. I thought they would make nice gifts. Thanks! Beth

I think a little of both. The stuff comes in a gallon jug, and they just pour it over the nuts and cook them. DH went on a quest to reproduce them since they are his favorite treat at Epcot. I'll see if I can resurrect the recipe he thought came close from the mess of a bookcase I call organized.

Here are some recipes I use from Southern Living magazine they are very close to the ones at Epcot! I give them as gifts, at least I try to, DH eats them as fast as I make them!

Thank you. I really love those things!

I was hoping to be able to make some as Christmas gifts. I wish I could buy a jug of the "stuff". LOL

Maleficent1959, I am anxious to see your hubby's interpretation. Thanks guys.

I missed these while in Epcot . . . I love nuts!

Thanks for sharing, Tiggerkeeper. And I'm looking forward Maleficent's husband's version, too!

Ok, I know this isn't what you asked for...but my friend in California just told me about a store she LOVES called Trader Joes..and I was checking out the website...

Coat toaster oven tray with cooking spray. Transfer nuts to tray and toast 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the aroma of freshly roasted nuts for hours!

I thought this sounded kind of interesting...so I thought I'd share... Has anyone else ever heard of this place? They don't have it in our area...

Anyway, sorry to go off topic...just wanted to share!

A former co-worker has a sister in CA that she visits - she brought me a box of stuff from Trader Joe's once - YUMMY!!

I found a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company outlet out in Lancaster that had similar goods. Their were pretty good, too!

Trader Joe's is an incredible store. They have Wal-mart prices for "gourmet" stuff. We shopped there regularly when we lived in Phoenix. Sadly, they are not even remotely close to us now and don't ship. But when we visit friends in California and Phoenix we always stock up.
