PEPITA BRITTLE
Source: Smitten Kitchen. The brittle can be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container, for up to two weeks. I like to separate the pieces between layers of parchment or waxed paper, as a little humidity can cause them to stick together.

Steps:
- Line a 12×16x1/2-inch sheet baking pan with parchment paper and lightly coat it with vegetable spray or butter.
- Put the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water to a large saucepan, and stir together until all the sugar is wet. Cook over high medium-high, but watch it carefully as it will foam up quite a bit and you might need to dial back the heat to medium until it begins to thicken.
- Once the mixture turns a medium golden (takes at least 10 minutes) immediately remove from the heat, and carefully whisk in the baking soda followed by the salt (taking care, as the caramel will rise in the pan and bubble some more). Switch to a wooden or metal spoon, and fold in the pepitas or nuts.
- Quickly pour the mixture onto the sheet pan, and spread it out over the pan using the back of the spoon before it starts to harden. Alternately, you can slide the parchment paper out of the baking pan and onto a counter, cover it with another sheet, and use a rolling pin, pressing down hard, to roll it out as flat and thin as you would like.
- At this point you can either let it cool completely (pulling off the top sheet of parchment, if you use the rolling pin technique) and break it into bite-size pieces with the back of a knife or other blunt object or, while it is still fairly hot and pliable, cut it into a shape of your choice (I went for long, thinnish strips) and let the pieces cool, separated on parchment paper.

PEPITA BRITTLE (RAW)
From Stephanie Tourles' book, Raw Energy. She says, "This is my healthful, raw version of peanut brittle, without the tooth-chipping hardness, refined sugar, and corn syrup. It still delivers that satisfying combo of salty sweetness with lots of crunch. These snack bites pack quite a nutritional wallop that promotes skin, hair, nail, and prostate health and restores iron-deficient blood. Pepita Brittle is a great afternoon snack to munch, especially if your energy reserves are running on empty and it's still a few hours before dinner." A good source of: iron, zinc, selenium, copper, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, essential fatty acids, natural sugars, vitamins B, D, and E, protein, and fiber. This recipe requires a food processor or a blender to chop the seeds and a dehydrator. Prep time doesn't include soaking and draining the seeds or dehydration/cooling time.

Steps:
- Soak the pumpkin and sunflowers seeds for 4 hours in enough purified water to cover by about 1 inch. Drain seeds into a colander and allow to drip-dry for about 30 minutes.
- Using a food processor, pulse-chop seeds for only a few seconds, until the seeds are cracked and broken but not ground into a meal. A blender is the second-best appliance recommended for this task.
- Transfer seeds to large bowl and stir in the honey. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the mixture and stir to blend thoroughly. The mixture will appear moist and granular and will not form a cohesive dough.
- Using a spatula, gently spread half of the mixture on a mesh dehydrator screen, forming a square about ¼-inch thick. Repeat this step with the remaining mixture onto another screen. Dehydrate at 105°F (41°C) for 22 to 26 hours or until the consistency is similar to thick, slightly flexible leather.
- Peel the brittle off the mesh screen and allow to cool in waxed paper or a cake rack for about 30 minutes. It will harden as it cools and will be even firmer and quite crunchy within a few hours of storage. Break into pieces of varying sizes.
- Store in a ziplock freezer bag either in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or at room temperature for 1 week. Pepita Brittle packs well and makes a great travel or hiking snack.

- Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and let them toast, slightly, until they start making popping sounds and have begun to darken, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape onto a bowl and let cool.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the water, brown sugar, granulated sugar, piloncillo and corn syrup. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the sugars dissolve. After 15 minutes or so, the mixture will have achieved a very thick syrup consistency and will be actively bubbling. Check with a candy thermometer to make sure it reaches 290 degrees Fahrenheit (but no more than 300 degrees), or the sugar is at “punto de bola” or “hard crack” stage, then, turn off the heat.
- Now you have to move fast: Grease a spatula with vegetable oil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the baking soda, the remaining butter, and the pumpkin seeds, and quickly stir as fast as you can. The mixture will be bubbling for a few seconds. Stir well and immediately scrape the mixture onto the buttered baking sheet, as it hardens incredibly fast. Spread evenly with the greased spatula to about 1/4" thickness. Sprinkle salt on top if desired.
