Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 dash sea salt or kosher salt
- 2 ounces dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread pumpkin seeds on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly browned. Set aside. Once cooled, reserve ¼ of the pumpkin seeds.
- Clip a candy thermometer, if using, to a large saucepan so the bottom is about ½-inch away from the bottom of the pan. Grease lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking often. Reduce heat if necessary. Cook approximately 12-15 minutes or until the mixture is golden. (If using a candy thermometer, remove from heat when the mixture is 300°F (150°C).
- Stir in the vanilla and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Pour and spread over nuts. Let cool 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle on remaining pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate. Refrigerate until set. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
