Total failure for me. Followed this exactly as it is written and watched the video. the entire mixture crystallized while it was still in the pan boiling to get the caramel color... it was a mess. I tried to salvage it, but in the end, it was all a huge block of sugar and the nuts didn't even taste good afterward. What a waste of all those seeds, and it took forever to hull them from our pumpkins by hand... I am a pretty good cook and I don't usually have an issue with a recipe going completely wrong... It was highly disappointing.

We, too, had the experience of kimmy and liquid, while I followed the directions to the letter, my brittle crystalized after cooling. I live in Denver and thought it may be altitude-related? Did it cool too quickly? not quickly enough? too thick? too thin? (just one 'seed depth' in thickness.
Alton, my man, you've been a mentor of mine for years and have never steered me wrong. Wondering what happened here?

Never got the amber brown color in the 25 mins, so I kept boiling it as the recipe states "until it reaches amber brown color" and eventually it crystallized. In the trash. BOO!

Everything was going fine until it hardend in the pan. The outside edges turned out great, but in the middle of the pan (most of the pan, actually, the sugar crystallized and the texture and taste is just not the same. What went wrong?! Alton?! I will try making one more time.

I can't stop eating it. I cut back on the cayenne but otherwise followed the instructions exactly. Mine turned a strange white color when I poured it out, but the taste is superb. The texture is a little beyond a brittle, so I'm going to call it Pumpkin Seed Candy. Next time I'm going to try cooking the sugar 20 minutes instead of 25, which might take the texture back down to a brittle. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I think it tasted like rock candy.I tried to make it twice just to make sure I was doing it right. Sugar water never got to the color on the video.

Okay, so I used un-hulled pumpkin seeds instead of hulled ones. Everything seems to be going just fine until I added the pumpkin seeds. The whole batch crystallized, instead of remaining syrup. I don't have a clue why it did that, but now instead of brittle, I'm calling it candied or crystallized pumpkins seeds. Either way it still tastes delicious! :
