Time 40m

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for baking sheet
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from one 7-ounce can chipotle chiles in adobo; reserve chiles for another use)
1 cup unsalted roasted pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Lightly brush with oil or coat with cooking spray. Cook sugar, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring, until sugar just dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Cook about 1 minute more, swirling the pan, until syrup is light amber. Carefully stir in adobo sauce (hot syrup will spatter), and cook 30 seconds.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add pepitas, peanuts, and cayenne, stirring to coat. Immediately pour onto baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining salt. Let cool completely, and break into pieces.
