Pumpkin spice popcorn mix combines classic fall flavors and trail mix ingredients into one sweet and savory snack. Perfect for cool autumn evenings or game day, this “mostly healthy” snack mix has become a family favorite. What’s more, this easy bowl of goodness comes together in just a few minutes.
How To Make This Recipe
For this seasonal popcorn snack mix, we bring together classic fall ingredients, including popped popcorn, dried cranberries, walnuts, and dark chocolate chips. As much as we love trail mix, we don’t always love the hefty amount of calories that come with eating it by the handful. So, we love using air popped popcorn here to help with balance. We then toss these ingredients in a flavorful pumpkin spice.
Feel free customize this recipe by replacing any of the specific ingredients we’ve used with your favorite dried fruits or nuts. Seasonal snacking doesn’t get much better than this.
Mix Popcorn With Seasonal Flavors
We start by adding all of our sweet and savory ingredients over popcorn in a large bowl. If you want to experiment with pumpkin spice latte flavor, try adding a half teaspoon of instant coffee to the mix.
Once we’ve added all of our ingredients, we toss it all together to distribute the flavors. Truth be told, we like to use clean hands for this task. However, a large spoon will also do the trick.
Ready To Serve
Once we distribute our seasonings evenly, we scoop our pumpkin spice popcorn mix into serving bowls. We’ve also made this munchy, crunchy mix for halloween parties, a neighborhood block party, and family game nights. This simple autumn snack is always a hit.
Now that we’ve carried our snack bowls over to the couch, we’re ready to crunch. Let’s dig in! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
