Sugared Toasted Pumpkin Seeds & Almonds...  YUM! :) I made the most delicious toasted spiced pumpkins seeds after my kids carved their pumpkins for Halloween. I love sugared almonds so I thought why not make sugared pumpkin seeds!  I love nuts, especially almonds, so I added some almonds to my pumpkin seed recipe and boy, I'm glad I did, it made the pumpkin seeds stand out in flavor and gave it an extra kick.
