Step 1: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the pumpkinseed kernels and the next 4 ingredients (through red pepper), cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside.
Step 2: Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring just until sugar dissolves. Cook until a candy thermometer registers 335 degrees.
Step 3: Remove pan from heat; add pumpkinseed mixture and baking soda. Working quickly, spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; let stand until set. Break into pieces.
