"I make these wonderful sweet nuts using pecans every year for Christmas. They are a true delight, especially if you are a lover of nuts. If pecans aren't your forte, substitute walnuts. Happy Holidays! Original recipe yield: 1 pound."

2 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
