- It is so hard to believe that it's already Halloween,
0:03
but it is so I'm gonna do a really quick
0:06
and simple recipe today that you're gonna like,
0:09
it's borderline healthy, but hey, it's Halloween,
0:12
so there's gotta be some sugar and spice, right?
0:16
Speaking of Halloween, when I was growing up,
0:18
it was always one of my favorites, not a holiday,
0:21
but it was just always one of my favorite days events,
0:24
because Halloween is one of those things
0:26
that's not just on one day, it's the whole month.
0:29
Like my birthday, the whole month of April is my birthday.
0:32
Well, the whole month of October is Halloween
0:33
you can sort of celebrate it.
0:35
And what's fun about being a dad now
0:38
is watching my kids get excited about dressing up.
0:40
So I'm sure that I'm gonna have,
0:44
last year I had a Mario brother and I had a Disney princess,
0:48
and I had a, gosh, what was my third,
0:52
maybe a pirate, I'm not sure.
0:54
And I don't know what I'm in store for this year,
0:56
but I'm sure there'll be loads of fun.
0:58
So when you got five, six, seven-year-old kids,
1:01
and Halloween is a big deal,
1:04
and I loved going trick or treating in Albany, Georgia,
1:07
back in the seventies, gosh, it was so much fun.
1:11
These are sweet and spicy pumpkin seeds.
1:14
And I've started off by melting some butter
1:16
in my sauce pan here.
1:18
I'm gonna go ahead and add to it my pumpkin seeds.
1:23
It doesn't get any easier than this.
1:25
I'm gonna stir them around
1:27
and get them coated with the butter.
1:30
And then to that, I'm gonna add some brown sugar.
1:35
Mm-mm! (seeds swishing)
1:41
Yeah, that's well coated,
1:44
and you know what I had a couple of these
1:45
before we started the recipe and they're so tasty already.
1:49
Pumpkin seeds are a good healthy snack.
1:52
So if you're feeling it, have some pumpkin seeds.
1:57
Now when you add all this powdered sugar to it
1:59
and the butter, that changes things a little bit.
2:02
- [Theresa] Brown sugar?
2:03
- I'm sorry, brown sugar, yeah, super, super tasty though.
2:07
So we'll get the brown sugar in there and melted down.
2:12
And then we'll add some chili powder to the mix.
2:17
And that's gonna give us that sweet and spicy, beautiful!
2:21
The brown sugar is melting nicely.
2:23
And to that, we're gonna add the chili powder,
2:28
and stir, stir, stir, sweet and, ooh, wow that.
2:33
Now that's sent out an aroma right there.
2:35
Immediately I got the sweet and I got the spicy.
2:42
Ooh, these are gonna be so good.
2:45
Really simple recipe.
2:45
That's all we're gonna do,
2:46
and then we will spread it out on that cookie sheet
2:51
right there and let it cool.
2:53
Now here's what we realized while we were doing this recipe.
2:55
The way that it's written it tells you
2:57
to add the brown sugar after you've added the seeds,
3:00
The brown sugar should have gone in with the butter
3:01
and melted with the butter
3:02
and then add the seeds on top but live and learn.
3:06
So what we had was a little bit of clumping
3:08
with the brown sugar but we've resolved it.
3:11
But save yourself the trouble
3:12
and add the brown sugar to the butter when it's melted there
3:16
and get it melted down.
3:17
And then the seeds, and then the chili powder.
3:22
But it still is a banging recipe.
3:28
Alright, what do you think, Teresa?
3:29
- [Theresa] I'm ready for you to put it on the spoon.
3:33
- [Theresa] I'm just a waitin', me and the camera.
3:37
- Yum, I love pumpkin seeds. - I do too, so good.
3:41
Any kind of seeds, really.
3:43
All the nuts and seeds, I make my own checks,
3:49
not checks mix, I make my own, I don't know,
3:53
I make my own mixes of at home,
3:55
of all kinds of seeds and nuts, so good.
3:59
And I usually add some raisins
4:00
and maybe some chocolate nibbles in there.
4:06
- Make it your own. - That's right.
4:07
So we'll spread it out on the pan here
4:13
and just let it cool.
4:14
And this will be a delectable yummy treat
4:19
for your Halloween boys and ghouls.
4:22
So enjoy, and Happy Halloween.
