Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe
You may have some of the ingredients for this recipe in your kitchen already – the full list with measurements is found in the recipe card.
For your convenience, any specialized ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been linked to Amazon below.
- Popcorn – you can pop it yourself at home, or buy already popped popcorn – make sure you buy plain or salted and not flavored!
- Dark Corn Syrup – adds a depth of flavor, but if you only have light corn syrup, that’s fine. In the UK you could use Golden Syrup.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – if you can’t source this blend, you can easily make it yourself! See below.
- Finely Ground Coffee – you’ll also need some strong coffee (liquid) too.
- M&Ms Candies – Pumpkin Pie flavor if you can find it. You could also use Reese’s Pieces or even Candy Corn.
- Pumpkin Spice Baking Truffles – you may struggle to get this ingredient outside of the US, so you could use caramel or chocolate chips or chunks instead.
This recipe uses American cups. They’re a handy piece of kitchen equipment to have along with a kitchen food scale. Having both in your kitchen means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog as I use both cups and weighted measures.
You can buy ready-made popcorn or pop your own kernels using a popcorn machine, or good old-fashioned pot on the stovetop.
