Sweet and Spicy and packed with everything you love about Fall.
Ingredients
For the popcorn
5 cups of popped popcorn
½ tsp Penzeys Jerk Seasoning (I've learned that all jerk seasoning is not created equal)
fresh cracked pepper and popcorn salt to taste
For the candied pumpkin seeds:
¾ cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
½ cup powdered sugar
1 T vodka
¾ tsp cinnamon
¼ ground cloves
¼ nutmeg
⅓ tsp ginger
¼ tsp cardamom
¼ tsp sea salt
pinch of cayenne
½ cup white chocolate chips
¾ cup craisins
Instructions
Season the popcorn and let it get cool, but not stale.
For the pumpkin seeds: put everything in a saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is dissolved and the sugar starts to caramelize and the pumpkin seeds pop.
Dump out on to parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
Spread out.
Let cool.
Break into pieces
Combine popcorn, pumpkin seeds, white chocolate, and craisins all together.
Enjoy.
