Cinnamon Tortilla Chips & Pumpkin Fluff
My family always gets the munchies before heading out to trick-or-treat on Halloween. This sweet pumpkin snack is our favorite because it's ready fast thanks to premade ingredients.
Grand Prize Cinnamon Tortilla Chips & Pumpkin Fluff
Prep: 25 min. + chilling
Bake: 10 min./batch
Makes: about 3 cups fluff and 56 chips
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin

10 flour tortillas (8 in.)
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
