Carving pumpkins is a messy job (especially when kids are involved). Reward yourself for making the effort by roasting the pumpkin seeds, and using them to make this simple, two-ingredient roasted pumpkin seed bark.
Roasted Pumpkin Seed Bark Recipe
Ingredients:
(2) 4-oz. bars baking chocolate – dark chocolate or semi-sweet
1 cup roasted, salted pumpkin seeds
Tip: If you don’t want to fool with roasting pumpkin seeds, just buy some. They’re a lot cheaper than nuts. Shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas) can also be used.
What You Do:
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (or in the microwave, following the instructions on the chocolate wrapper).
Stir 3/4 cup of the pumpkin seeds into the melted chocolate.
Then, pour the chocolate-pumpkin seed mixture out on a Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out in an even 1/4-inch-thick layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds over the chocolate. If you used unsalted pumpkin seeds, also sprinkle 1/4 tsp of salt over the chocolate.
Pop your pumpkin seed bark in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, so it hardens. Then, break or slice it into pieces, while it’s still cold.
