Pretty lettuce, a few tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, sweet potatoes and apples rounded out our box … along with a bag of popcorn. That’s one of the things I look forward to all year. We have popcorn recipes on the website for those who want to do more than just pop and eat a bowl full at a time. And I saw the recipe below for Pumpkin Spice Popcorn Bark (I don’t remember where it came from!) and thought that would be a fun thing to make for Halloween. Not for the miscellaneous trick-or-treaters, but for people who know us and will appreciate a homemade treat.
Ingredients:
3 cups popped popcorn 1 cup mini marshmallows 1 cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup Cheerios 1/2 cup salted pumpkin seeds 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix 12 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
Preparation:
Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine popcorn, marshmallows, pecans, cereal, pepitas, dried cranberries and pumpkin spice mix.
Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave 1 minute. Stir to melt; microwave an additional minute. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour melted chocolate over popcorn mixture. Mix until well coated and spread in an even layer into prepared pan. Cool at room temperature until firm (or refrigerate). Cut into squares to serve. Store in an airtight container.
