Looking for a perfect snack?? Well, here it is…Candied Pepitas. They’re so easy to make and they’re perfect for a party or just to munch on.

After looking through several recipes, I wasn’t quite sold on any of them because some had too much sugar and some had crazy steps. I wanted to keep it simple and keep the sugar on the low side. So here’s the mess i make’s version of Candied Pepitas. —themessimake.com
