Recipe:

Place a large piece of parchment paper on the counter and secure it with tape.

In a pot, mix 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Cook the mixture at a medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Cook without stirring until your candy thermometer reads 238°F (soft-ball stage).

Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds and stir until the syrup crystallizes.

Return the pot to heat, and stir until the sugar melts, and the seeds turn a golden brown colour.

Pour the mixture onto the parchment paper, and immediately cover with another piece of parchment paper.

With a rolling pin, flatten out the brittle as thin as possible.

Remove the top sheet and cut it into strips with a pizza cutter.

When brittle is completely cool, remove brittle from the paper and break the brittle into pieces.
