white sugar is a BAD idea. I felt like it was a bad idea from the start and I should have listened to my instinct. They were doing great and smelling amazing until the first coat of white sugar went on...they black smoke started rolling out of the oven within minutes.

I wish I had read the reviews before making this recipe with my son's pumpkin seeds! The oven temp was way too high and the cook time was way too long. I ended up with burnt seeds within 25 minutes! I'd recommend an oven temp of 275 degrees max. My 5-year old was so sad that mom burnt his seeds! Too bad. We were looking forward to trying a different recipe this year!

These were good. I added a little more white sugar at the end for more sweetness. Also, I will not cook them as long next time. They almost burned on me.

Great recipe! Only had 2 cups of seeds from the pumpkins and I did boil them in salt water for @ 20 minutes. Completely dried them and followed the directions exactly EXCEPT lowered the temp of the oven to @ 275 degrees, just like everyone else who reviewed this suggested. Next year all of the seeds will be used for this recipe. Happy Halloween!

I so should have read the reviews before making this, what a huge disappointment. I followed the recipe and the directions to a 'T' and I think that was my first problem. I took them out of the oven the last time and they smelled okay. Then I ate one once they cooled, yeah it tasted so burnt. I won't be recommending this recipe or using it ever again.

These are pretty easy, and pretty good...however. wouldn't anything be good if it's buttered and covered in cinnamon, sugar and brown sugar? haha...it's a nice change in snack..and better than throwing out all the seeds..

I WILL MAKE THEM EVERY YEAR!!!!!! I wish i could give this 4 1/2 they are delicious!! I only had 1 1/2c seeds so I did what some of the other reviews said and cut the butter to 2T and kept the rest of the ingredients the same. Cooked them at 275 stirring every 10min, and they came out great!!! The only thing that bugs me is that they do stick together when they are cooled because of the sugar.

These were very good. A nice change from the savory seeds I always make. I had half the seeds, so I used a little less margarine, but all of the remaining ingredients. Very tasty!
