Pumpkin Pie Spiced Kettle Corn

Today I have a super quick & easy fall snack recipe for you today. Pumpkin Pie Spiced Kettle Corn that you make in the microwave! I LOVE kettle corn and I have a hard time passing it up at fairs and special events when it’s for sale. It’s a bit expensive though, but not this version! I estimate that 6 cups of this popcorn costs about 40 cents to make, super score!

There’s just something about the sweet, salty, and crunchy combo that I can’t resist. Now make it super easy by using the microwave, and a light touch of pumpkin pie spice to the mix and this is truly kettle corn done the right way!

You will need some specialty equipment to male this kettle corn:

1- A microwave (of course). 🙂

It needs to hold at least 2 quarts in volume.

Cook’s Note for Pumpkin Pie Spiced Kettle Corn:

• All microwaves are different so you really need to babysit your first batch while it’s in the microwave. That is until you know what theoptimal time is for popping the kettle corn in your microwave.
  • To do this I suggest you set the cook time to 6 minutes and stand in front of the microwave until you hear no more than 5 seconds in between pops. Once this happens, the kettle corn is done!
• You really don’t want to over cook this kettle corn because the sugar will scorch while in the microwave.
• Remember to use oven mits when retrieving the baking dish from the microwave, it’ll be wicked hot!
