Gluten Free Pumpkin Seed Brittle with Honey & Cinnamon

Crunchy, golden, and warmly spiced, this seed brittle hits that perfect sweet-salty note that makes it impossible to stop at just one piece. Honey and coconut oil form the caramel base, cooked all the way to the hard-crack stage so the finished brittle snaps cleanly and holds together beautifully. Raw pumpkin seeds get folded in along with cinnamon, ginger, and a whisper of turmeric, giving every shard a deep, layered warmth that feels far more sophisticated than the short ingredient list suggests. Because the whole thing is built on naturally gluten-free pantry staples — no flour, no oats, no grain-based thickeners — there's nothing to swap or substitute; the recipe just works as written. Candy-making can feel intimidating, but a clip-on thermometer takes the guesswork out entirely, and the whole process wraps up in well under an hour from start to first bite. Once it cools and hardens on the parchment, you break it into rustic shards that are equally at home on a cheese board, tucked into a holiday gift bag, or eaten straight off the counter.
