Trader Joe's has released a festive Pumpkin Seed Brittle that offers the classic sweet treat infused with fresh fall flavors and produce. The brittle features many ingredients you'd find in a pumpkin pie making it a great alternative sweet for those that want to try something a bit different.
Brittle usually features a caramel crust filled with toppings such as nuts or chocolate. This pumpkin version by Trader Joe's features a mixture of salty and sweet flavors. The caramel is peppered with pumpkin seeds and topped with a spiced pumpkin sugar coating making this a crunchy but very sugary dessert. The pieces are broken up into single-servings making the brittle ideal for sharing. With the high content of sugar in this dessert, it is ideal to have one or two pieces.
