  • Make the popcorn in the microwave according to the package directions. Toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat until golden, then add the popcorn. Now make the caramel. Warm the cream gently over low heat, stir in the vanilla sugar, and set it aside for now. In a deep saucepan, heat the corn syrup with the sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Stirring constantly, bring it to a boil and cook for about 7 minutes, until the syrup starts to set. Beat in the butter and salt. Very carefully, so the syrup doesn't spatter, pour in the cream. Lower the heat and cook for about 5 more minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Take it off the heat and add the cinnamon and pepper. Let it cool for 1 minute. Pour the caramel evenly over the popcorn and seeds. Let it cool. Once the popcorn has cooled enough, grease your hands with butter and shape it into balls. Serve the treats at room temperature.
