‘The Kitchn’ blog recently put together a recipe for caramel corn that has been seasoned with pumpkin spice. Although pumpkin-flavored drinks have become synonymous with fall, not everyone is a fan of festive beverages. This sweet and spicy snack is perfect for those who prefer to consume pumpkin a different way.
The recipe involves popping the popcorn on the stovetop and then whipping up a batch of caramel sauce. Once the popcorn has been fully coated with caramel, the dish is seasoned with pumpkin spice. The addition of pumpkin spice balances out the overly sweet taste of the caramel. The result is a lightly spiced snack that is perfect for dessert or a mid-day treat.
