5. In a separate bowl combine pbfit pumpkin spice powder, and baking soda and set aside.

6. Measure out bourbon and set a side.

7. Heat butter sugar mixture on medium high heat stirring occasionally until it comes to a boil and continue boiling for 4 minutes.

8. Remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin spice powder mixture. Whisk quickly to combine and pour in bourbon, be careful when adding the bourbon as the mixture will splatter. Quickly whisk in the bourbon and pour over the popcorn. Stir to coat all the popcorn evenly. Fold in the sugared pecans.
