Pumpkin-Seed Brittle

The nonstick baking mat is not an original idea. Alton Brown’s Good Eats had this idea many years before. Also, pepitas are UNshelled. Do not use shelled pumpkin seeds. Yuk

I like this recipe. I bought raw seeds from Trader Joes. I have also susituted Agave for honey. I did not bake either. yummy

The pumpkin seeds are suppose to be hulled. I tried to hull mine but it took too long so I'm going to use sunflowers seeds. You can buy them hulled their called "Pepitas".

do you think any other nut can work with this brittle recipe?

I like this recipe a lot, but I don't know why it says to preheat the oven. I didn't bake mine, and it turned out fine. I think it's a typo???

are the pumpkin seeds to be hulled? or left whole? This information would be helpful, as some of the recipes depict seeds with the shell, and others without it!

this was an interesting flavor. i can't say it was my favorite brittle. the honey addition gave it a unique taste, but i prefer the traditional nut brittle. i agree that the amount of seeds was too much. i had a cup of seeds so i doubled the rest of the recipe. technically, it worked fine.

Seemed like too many seeds. I made it a second time and reduced the seed by 25%. Note that it does not fill the 11 x 17 pan, but rather just spreads out in it. Don't try to spread it all the way to the sides. Delicious however.
