Elevate snacking with a mix of sweet & spicy caramel popcorn and pumpkin seeds for a flavorful crunch.
Ingredients:
  • 8 cups unsalted plain popped popcorn
  • 1 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 250°F. Grease a 17x12-inch half-sheet pan with cooking spray. Combine the popcorn and pumpkin seeds in a large bowl; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, gently melt butter over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Let it boil for 2 minutes. Stir in chili powder, salt, cumin, cinnamon, and red pepper. Pour the mixture over the popcorn and stir until completely coated. Spread the mixture in a pan.
  • Bake without a cover for 30 minutes, stirring every so often. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.
