At my bridal shower, everyone brought a recipe to share with me as we started our life as a married couple. My mom brought this sugared nuts recipe that was also from my beloved aunt and grandma. It's a little indulgent and perfect for batch-making around the holidays! Everyone will be asking you for the recipe as well!
Heat sugar, sour cream, and butter in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to violent boil. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Mix in thoroughly.
Add nuts, mixing thoroughly to cover every nut.
Spread nuts on waxed paper to cool. Let sit at least forty five minutes before breaking apart.
