1 c. whole almonds
1/2 c. walnut halves
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. fat-free half and half
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Roast nuts by placing in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown. Mix together sugar, cinnamon, salt and milk; microwave on High for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave again for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in vanilla and nuts, coating well. Spoon onto wax paper, separating nuts slightly so they don't clump. Allow to cool.

Makes 10 (1/4 cup) servings.
