For a deeper caramel flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar for the final coating. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference. A pinch adds a pleasant warmth, but you can add more for a serious kick. Ensure the pumpkin seeds are thoroughly dried before roasting to achieve maximum crispness. Store cooled seeds in an airtight container for up to a week.

Nov 12, 2022These are great, but next time I'll use a bit less cayenne pepper for a milder flavor. My kids found them a bit too spicy.
