Delicioso!!! Love them. These will be gone in no time flat! Made this as written, except I used Mexican Jugo Seasoning in place of the Worcestershire sauce to make it more authentic. Used the optional cayenne which provided just a touch of heat. Perfect. Made for ZWT5

Delicious little treat! I made exactly as written, including the cayenne. I was leery of the amount of liquid smoke, as it is a flavor that goes a long way with me, but it was perfect! I will be making this often, and will put into a bowl of mixed nuts to jazz them up, also. Made for Ramadan 2009 Tag.

Yum! I've never had pumpkin seeds before - but now they will become a staple in my house. These were simple and tasted great. I halved the recipe and made as directed including the cayenne. Thanks Nif for a great new treat! Made for ZWT5 2009 Family Picks.
