    Dancing Pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds), Mom used to make a less spicy (no cayenne) version of these for all my teen parties, but she called them cockroach crunchies as they do resemble the critters (great Halloween snack) They are lighter than air and you can season with absolutely anything you like I stole the title from Melinda Lee ( com/recipearchive html?action=124&item_id=223) but the ingredients and method are what I have used and grew up with , Really good and crunchy! Loved the flavor , Loved these We like spicy, so I definitely included the cayenne pepper Thanks for posting!
