Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle (Microwave)
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 cup toasted, raw and hulled pumpkin seeds, salted
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Toast raw hulled pumpkin seeds in a 350-degree oven for 5-8 minutes or until you begin to smell a nutty aroma. Salt and set aside.
Coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large microwave safe bowl, I use glass or a glass 8-cup measure, add sugar, corn syrup, water and pumpkin seeds. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Very quickly, add butter, vanilla, baking soda and cinnamon to candy. Stir rapidly until butter is melted and brittle is foaming.
Spread as quickly and thinly as possibly onto prepared pan. Cool completely. Break into pieces.
It really is that easy!
