A few weeks ago we shared tips for incorporating fall
flavors into your mix. One of the most-loved fall flavors is pumpkin. This week
our tip is to think outside of the box for incorporating this flavor. Actually,
we want you to think inside the box, or pumpkin in this case, and use pumpkin
seeds in your product mix.
We know there are lots of ways to incorporate pumpkin seeds
but here are just a few to get your creative juices flowing:
·
Top your chocolate bark with pumpkin seeds. For
the sweet and salty flavor we all love, first salt your seeds before putting
them on the bark.
·
Create a trail mix using pumpkin seeds, dried
fruit and chocolate chips.
·
Mix pumpkin seeds into your brittle for an added
crunch. (This idea was shared at a recent Candy Clinic idea-sharing session.
RCI members may watch Candy Clinic videos on the member side of the RCI website
under ‘Past Education Sessions’.)
·
Candied pumpkin seeds add just enough sweetness
to not overwhelm the great flavor of the seeds. You can find a variety of
candied pumpkin recipes by doing a quick internet search.
If you have other great ideas for incorporating pumpkin
seeds into your product mix, we’d love to hear it!
