Directions:
|
In Dutch oven, bring sugar, corn syrup and butter to a boil; boil 2-1/2 minutes. Stir in pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt and food coloring (if desired). Mix until evenly colored. Add popcorn and toss until evenly coated. Spread popcorn mixture in a single layer on greased sheets of foil and allow to cool and harden. Break into bite-sized pieces and mix with candy corn in a wide shallow bowl; set aside.
To make spiders, cut licorice into 2-inch lengths. To make legs, starting at one end, make three 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cuts to make four legs. Repeat cuts at opposite end. Leave 1/2 inch in center uncut. Gently pull legs apart and curl down. Push wooden pick through center of body, leaving 1/4 inch exposed on top. Push one gumdrop onto exposed pick to make a body. Using writing tip of decorating icing, squeeze two small dots of icing into gumdrops. Press jaw-breakers into icing to make eyes. Place spiders and worm-shaped candies in popcorn. Remove wooden picks before eating.
