Ingredients

1 cup pecan halves
½ cup hulled (green) pumpkin seeds
12 cups freshly popped popcorn (microwave, air-popped or stovetop)
1 cup dried cranberries
¼ cup Gay Lea Spreadables Butter, Cinnamon & Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spread pecan halves and pumpkin seeds on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for 6 to 8 minutes or until fragrant; cool slightly.
Meanwhile, melt Spreadables butter with hot sauce.
Combine warm popcorn with pecan halves, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries in a large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and re-toss to distribute salt evenly. Serve immediately.

Tips:

To make popcorn on the stovetop, set a large heavy pot with a tight fitting lid over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) Spreadables Original; heat until just melted. Sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) popcorn kernels evenly over the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until the popping stops.
