Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle | Aromatic Vanilla Cake

It’s tremendous straightforward to make too!

Some peanut brittles have a couple of extra elements than mine however I discover that I do not want all of them.  After I make common peanut brittle it has solely 3 elements and comes out excellent each time.  This one 3 elements with out the spices as effectively. For this one, I first added sugar, salt and spices to a pan.  I included the pumpkin pie spices, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves and truthfully it smelled wonderful whereas cooking.

It’s very easy to make, you simply soften the entire elements collectively in a pan over medium warmth stirring usually till the sugar melts and turns into utterly liquid.  You need it to soften and begin to brown however not burn, and that’s if you add the pumpkin seeds and pour it out onto a pan.  You need to work rapidly because it hardens quick.  I used turbinado sugar this time as a result of that was what I had available, however you should use maple sugar or simply granulated sugar if you want.

This turned out so scrumptious and it was so easy to make!  It was candy, crunchy, frivolously spiced and satisfying!  My husband liked it a lot your complete batch was gone in about 2 days.  I imply it’s laborious to cease consuming it when you begin snacking!  If you’re within the temper for one thing candy, undoubtedly give this Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle a attempt!
