Kicked Up Sriracha Party Nuts

 
Ingredients: 
1 pound salted mixed nuts and pretzel sticks
1 egg white 
1 tablespoon Sriracha 
1/2 cup granulated sugar 
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 

Directions: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the nuts and pretzels into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white, water and Sriracha for a minute, or until lightly aerated. Pour over nuts/pretzels and toss. In another bowl, whisk together the sugars. Stir into pretzels/nuts to coat. Using a rubber spatula, spread the nuts out in a single layer on the parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. These can be stored in an air tight container for up to 1 month. Makes 4 cups.
