Back then, I likely wouldn’t convey had much involvement inwards this pumpkin seed spread, since I needed to relieve room for all those miniature Mr. Goodbars, but now, I can’t intend of anything I’d rather eat. This straddles the struggle betwixt sweetness in addition to savory, in addition to would hold upward real slowly to suit to your tastes.

They create a similar, albeit to a greater extent than savory version, which inspired this spread. If you lot don’t similar the term “spread,” you lot could telephone telephone it a pumpkin seed hummus, or pumpkin seed butter, but no thing what you lot telephone telephone it, I promise you lot laissez passer it a try soon. Enjoy!
