~after school snack~

Last night we all carved our pumpkins.

Today I am left with a ton of pumpkin seeds that I don't want to see go to waste.

Therefore today's after school snack is:

Sweet and sugary baked pumpkin seeds!

here is how to make them!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Coat those left-over pumpkin seeds with a simple mixture of butter, cinnamon, and sugar, and bake for 45 minutes, turning frequently!
