CHEF JOHN'S PUMPKIN SEED BRITTLE
The procedure for brittle is very simple, but there are points in the recipe when you have to move fast. Once your sugar mixture has turned a nice caramel color you have to immediately turn off the heat, add baking soda (be careful), add the seeds (be careful), and mix until combined. As the concoction cools it hardens quickly, so transfer into your pan and press as soon as you can (be careful).

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Stir pumpkin seeds and sea salt together in a bowl.
- Stir sugar, corn syrup, and water together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add butter and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Boil until mixture is dark golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; whisk in baking soda.
- Pour pumpkin seeds into sugar mixture and stir until well-combined. Transfer pumpkin seed mixture to prepared baking sheet. Place another silicone baking mat over the top of the pumpkin seed mixture and press down to make an even surface for the brittle. Let harden for about 30 seconds; remove top baking mat. Score surface with a knife to form desired shapes. Cool to room temperature and break into pieces.

[email protected]This brittle is way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.

[email protected]I've tried making this brittle a few times now and I can't seem to get it right. The brittle always ends up too hard or too soft. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[email protected]I've made this brittle several times now and it's always a hit! My friends and family love it. It's the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the pumpkin seeds give it a nice crunch. I usually double the recipe because it goes so fast.
