    ½ cup pumpkin seeds
    ½ cup almonds, chopped
    ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    ½ teaspoon sea salt

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

    3. In small pan melt butter, add syrup and nut butter and stir to blend.
    4. Remove from heat and add extracts.
    5. Slowly pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients, using a spatula to fold and evenly coat the dry mixture with the wet.
