3. bake for around 20 mins or until the sugar is well caramelised and the bacon is crispy.
   
   
   
   
4. Be careful the coating will be sticky and scorching hot so, unless you're looking to delete your fingerprints allow to cool before handling.

1. Clean and dry pumpkin seeds then season with Lane's Maple Pecan rub for 20mins at 200c or until golden brown.
