These Pumpkin Spice Popcorn Balls make for a yummy Trick or Treat for moms, dads and of course the kids will love them too! These are perfect to pass out to family and friends, bring to a party, or to send to school for fall treat. You are likely to have all ingredients in your pantry already, and only need a candy thermometer for “fancy” equipment (it’s not a must but definitely helps.)

After wrapping tightly in plastic wrap, twist the end into a “stem” and tie off with raffia or twine for a fun little country pumpkin. Print off the labels to identify the flavor at parties and thread through twine. Might I suggest printing them on card stock for added stability.
