After carving a ghoulishly great jack-o'-lantern, don't toss aside the seeds from the pumpkin. Transform them into Pumpkin Seed Clusters to share with Halloween doorbell ringers.
One small tip: Pumpkins vary in size, and this recipe is made with a cup of seeds in mind. If you have two cups of seeds, for example, simply double the chocolate and marshmallows.
Trying to stop eating these tasty treats? That's a harder trick.
INGREDIENTS
- pumpkin seeds scooped from a pumpkin
- olive oil baking spray
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of milk-chocolate chips
STEPS
1. Remove any pumpkin bits from the seeds with your fingers, then place them in a measuring cup. (This way you'll know the amount of seeds for the recipe.)
2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Pour seeds into a colander, place the colander in a kitchen sink and rinse with water.
3. Spread the seeds across a cutting board, then pat dry with a dishcloth. (It's OK if they're not completely dry.)
