    I made these tonight with pumpkin seeds left over from Halloween. They were tasty and addictive. I added about twice as much cinnamon as nutmeg, I baked about 25 minutes to get the golden brown color I like. The spices are a fun twist that I haven't tried before. Thanks for sharing Jennifer!
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
