Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Seed Brittle Treat.

1. Step 1

   Start by preparing your baking sheet: line it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, toss together the pumpkin seeds and coarse sea salt, making sure they’re well combined for that perfect salty crunch.

4. Step 4

   Heat this mixture over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until it reaches a bubbling boil.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s boiling, add in the butter and keep whisking as the mixture transforms into a beautiful dark golden color—this should take about 10 to 15 minutes, so be patient and enjoy the sweet aroma filling your kitchen.

   When it reaches that lovely color, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the baking soda until it’s fully blended in.

   Now, it’s time to add your pumpkin seed mixture to the caramel.

8. Step 8

   Stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring every seed is coated in that luscious caramel goodness.
