Starbucks is now serving their pumpkin spice latte (among other seasonal beverages), which means it is time for pumpkin-flavored everything, from coffee to kettle corn. Alex Caspero at Sugar and Cloth created a recipe for pumpkin pie kettle corn that will make you fall in love with fall all over again.

This is the perfect snack to enjoy on a cool autumn evening, especially if you're getting cozy with a movie and blankets. It also pairs quite nicely with some wine.

To make your own, you will need coconut or vegetable oil, corn kernels, white sugar, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Depending on how sweet you like your kettle corn, you can adjust the amount of sugar you use.
