Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup shelled toasted pumpkin seeds can also be made with peanuts
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and honey then bring it to a boil, without stirring, until the mixture is dark amber and the candy thermometer reached 280 degrees F.
  • Stir in the pumpkin seeds and salt and cook until 300 degrees F, around 2 minutes.
  • Carefully pour the mixture on to a parchment lined baking sheet, spreading in to a thin layer with an oiled spatula and let it cool completely. Please be so careful since the mixture is extremely hot!
  • After around 10 minutes, the brittle should be cool enough to handle. Peel the brittle away from the parchment paper and break it in to pieces.
