Popcorn Pumpkins Recipes

Steps:

• Grease a muffin pan and set aside. Place popcorn, candy corn and peanuts into a large bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in marshmallows, red food coloring and yellow food coloring, adjusting color if needed to get a nice shade of orange. When the marshmallows are completely melted, pour over the popcorn and stir to evenly distribute the candy, nuts and marshmallow.
• Use a greased spoon to fill the muffin cups. Insert a piece of licorice to act as the stem, and mold the popcorn around it. Let stand until firm, 10 to 15 minutes, and then pull the pumpkins out by their stems and admire your pumpkin patch!

• 4. cook's Tip: I spray my hands with Pam butter flavored kitchen spray before handling. It makes it easier.

Steps:

• Place the popcorn in a very large bowl.
• In microwave safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows on high for 1 1/2-2 minutes or until melted; stir in the orange gelatin powder until dissolved.
• Pour mixture over popcorn and toss well to coat.
• I spray my hands with Pam or you can lightly coat your hands with butter to prevent sticking. Quickly shape popcorn mixture in twelve 3 inch balls or pumpkin shapes. Place on a piece of wax paper.
• For stems insert the green dots candy using some of the marshmallow cream as adhesive or glue LOL.
• Use the black licorice for eyes, nose etc.

Steps:

• Pop the popcorn according to the package instructions. Spread the popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet, discarding any unpopped kernels. Place one cup of caramel baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner with scissors. Drizzle the caramel over the popcorn and immediately sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Let the coated popcorn stand until the candy is set, about 15 minutes. Break the popcorn mixture into pieces using a wooden spoon or your hands. Sprinkle with 1 additional teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Transfer to a serving bowl. Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container.
