Cook's Notes:
Check them in the oven often! Since there's sugar, they're more likely to burn than other recipes for roasted pumpkin seeds. Also, this works best if you leave the seeds out to dry overnight.
If there's sugar left on the bottom of the pan that isn't sticking, add another 1/2 tablespoon butter and stir again.
