  3. Stir in the allspice, cinnamon, kosher salt, ginger, nutmeg, and pepitas, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  4. Pour the toffee mixture onto the baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes.

  6. Break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
