Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramel Popcorn

My daughter and I wanted to do something fall-ish together, so we decided to make popcorn....not just any popcorn though...."fall-ish" popcorn....Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramel Popcorn to be exact.

Popcorn has always been her favorite snack and this time we put a fall spin on it.  Since making it this way, we have made it about a dozen more times and gave them as gifts.
