Honestly Yum's Recipe for Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle is a Fall Favorite

If you have found yourself completely caught up in the pumpkin spice craze so far this autumn, you will love this pumpkin seed brittle. From Karen at Honestly Yum, the recipe incorporates a traditional brittle with toasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin spices and chocolate.

This unexpected and delicious way of cooking with pumpkin is sure to be a big hit at any Halloween party you attend. By using spices like nutmeg, crushed cloves, cinnamon and allspice, the pumpkin seed brittle has a distinct fall flavor. In addition to incorporating the pumpkin seeds directly into the brittle, the seasonal treat is then dipped in semi-sweet tempered chocolate and has raw seeds sprinkled on top. Karen also sprinkled some Maldon sea salt on the melty chocolate.
