  3. In a bowl, stir the 2 sugars and cinnamon until well blended, then set aside

  4. In a medium bowl, using a fork, beat the egg whites until frothy

  5. Add the nuts and toss until each is completely coated

  6. Add the sugar mixture to the nuts and stir until each is well coated

  7. Turn the nuts onto the baking sheet evenly

  8. Bake until crisp and dry, usually 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes
