In minutes you could be snacking on your new Fall FAVORITE!
One whiff of this and everyone will have their hands in the bowl,
it’s buttery and salty and sweet and sticky…
which means it’s totally delicious in my book!
I love all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice as long as it doesn’t taste like you bit into a candle…
I’m all about the delicious flavors of cinnamon and spice and apple cider and all sorts of sweet treats!
If you’re with me so far,
you’ll want to make a batch of this pumpkin spice popcorn pronto!
The real fun of this popcorn comes from the “sticky” sweet coating,
it’s made from marshmallows…
oh yes, the fun begins there.
This recipe only takes a minute to turn ordinary popcorn into your favorite fall treat!
some of my all-time favorite pumpkin items are:
- Pumpkin Ice Cream – no matter how cold it is ICE CREAM is always a winner and the delicious flavor of pumpkin is awesome.
- Pumpkin Muffins – an easy baked muffin you’ll want to make all year long.
- Pumpkin Pancakes – no morning is complete in the fall without a stack of these!
- Pumpkin Sheet Cake – this cake will win everyone over… it’s easy and tasty and is ready in under an hour.
Here is my post on mixing up pumpkin pie spice, if you bake a lot it’s great to mix up your own, of course you can purchase pumpkin pie spice at most grocery type stores as well.
You’ll start with popped popcorn, and heat up the sauce in the microwave, then pour it on top of the popcorn in a large bowl.
Then stir it well so all the popcorn is coated completely.
Then spread it out on a parchment-lined bakign sheet evenly to cool.
AND there you have it.. you’re new fall favorite!
