If you’ve offered to bring something sweet to a Halloween party, what are you going to bring? Brownies? Cupcakes? Candy? Everyone will be bringing those. But, I bet no one will be bringing pumpkin seed brittle.

Leave it to Alton Brown, or his staff perhaps, to come up with a sweet, salty and spicy brittle that uses oh-so-seasonal pumpkin seeds. I always learn something when I watch Alton, and I love his explanation in this video about why candy makers use wooden spoons and not metal ones.

You can find the recipe details for Alton Brown’s pumpkin seed brittle on The Food Network.
