  1. Line 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Mix sugar, butter, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water in large saucepan. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat if needed to keep mixutre from foaming.
  2. Remove from heat when mixture reaches deep golden color (after about 10 minutes). Carefully stir in Hot Sauce and pepitas (mixture will be bubbly!).
  3. Pour mixture onto prepared sheet pan, quickly spreading into an even layer.
  4. Cool completely. Break into bite-size pieces. Store at room temperature in an air-tight container, with layers separated by wax paper, for up to 2 weeks.
