The picture actually came out a lot better than I had hoped. I saw this recipe on Pinterest (my addiction). It turned out really well and the kids loved it!
Pumpkin Pie Popcorn adapted from Family Bites
- 10 cups air popped popcorn
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
Preheat oven to 250 °F. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
Spray a large mixing bowl with non-stick spray and add the popcorn. Or be like me and forget that step and just try to spray around the popcorn.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and 2 tablespoons of water.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Continue to simmer whisking often until mixture is boiling. Allow mixture to boil for at least 2 minutes whisking often. (I would continually whisk, because the mixture will burn to the bottom of the pan if you don't. As I have learned from making candy in the past).
After the 2 minutes, remove pan from heat and add all the spices and baking soda. It will cause the mixture to turn a lighter brown and bubble up, so don't freak out. Not that anyone would do that or anything. :)
Quickly pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn in the bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix the caramel into the popcorn coating as much of it as you can. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 1 hour. Stir the mixture every 20 minutes with the rubber spatula. Remove from the oven and let cook for 20 minutes (if you can wait that long, I couldn't). Neither could the kiddos who were bugging me for an hour straight wanting to eat the popcorn.
Yeah, I don't know either. I think she gets it from me.
This is the website where I got the recipe. I am not a fan of plagiarism :)
