I really like making peanut brittle across the holidays.  I keep in mind my Grandparents at all times had peanut brittle round throughout Christmas and having fun with it as a child.  I prefer to make it now round Christmas, and I plan on doing it this yr.  However this Fall I believed some Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle could be scrumptious!  Why not make a seasonal twist on a favourite! It’s tremendous straightforward to make too!

Some peanut brittles have a couple of extra substances than mine however I discover that I do not want all of them.  After I make common peanut brittle it has solely 3 substances and comes out good each time.  This one 3 substances with out the spices as properly. For this one, I first added sugar, salt and spices to a pan.  I included the pumpkin pie spices, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves and actually it smelled superb whereas cooking.

It’s very easy to make, you simply soften the entire substances collectively in a pan over medium warmth stirring usually till the sugar melts and turns into utterly liquid.  You need it to soften and begin to brown however not burn, and that’s whenever you add the pumpkin seeds and pour it out onto a pan.  It’s important to work shortly because it hardens quick.  I used turbinado sugar this time as a result of that was what I had available, however you need to use maple sugar or simply granulated sugar if you want.

This turned out so scrumptious and it was so easy to make!  It was candy, crunchy, flippantly spiced and satisfying!  My husband liked it a lot the complete batch was gone in about 2 days.  I imply it’s onerous to cease consuming it when you begin snacking!  If you’re within the temper for one thing candy, positively give this Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle a strive!
