2 cups roasted salted pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
STEP 1
Butter 2 (15x10x1-inch) baking pans; set aside.

STEP 3
Add butter; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 15-25 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 280°F or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms hard but pliable strand.
STEP 4
Stir in pumpkin seeds; continue cooking, stirring constantly, 10-12 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 305°F or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms hard brittle strand. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda.

Pour mixture immediately into prepared pans; spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cool 5 minutes; sprinkle with sea salt. Cool completely.
STEP 6

Any seed mixture could work. We also tried pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Try your favorite combination.
Do not use fresh pumpkin seeds made at home from a fresh pumpkin.
