This pumpkin spice popcorn is a tasty treat for fall - crunchy popcorn with a drizzle of white chocolate. An easy snack to make!
I have a confession, I'm kind of addicted to popcorn. Even a whiff of it makes me want to have a bowl. I'm normally just a plain jane person (salt and maybe a little butter) but today I'm sharing a version that is perfect for fall and will satisfy your sweet tooth - Pumpkin Spice Popcorn. Bonus it is drizzled with white chocolate!
This weekend I really got my fill - Friday the DIY Guy and I went to lunch at a local pub and snacked on their popcorn, then Saturday night we went out to dinner with some friends at a different pub with popcorn then finally today we went to see Gone Girl at the theater and well, you know I'm definitely not skipping popcorn at the movies. The entire lobby has that wonderful aroma when you walk in the door! And no worries, no spoilers on the movie!
Am I alone or are there any other popcorn lovers out there??? Do you like sweet or savory?
So go rent yourself a movie and make a batch to enjoy!
