Confetti Popcorn Recipe 425 Food

CONFETTI POPCORN RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Pop popcorn using preferred method (I have an old-time popcorn cart, but it works just as well using an air popper or popping on the stove the old-fashioned way). One cup of kernels should yield around nine cups of popped corn. Add salt, if desired, and set the popcorn aside in a BIG bowl. Melt the candy coating in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time to avoid overcooking. Once melted, pour over the popcorn and stir carefully and quickly to coat popcorn evenly. If large bowl has a lid, cover and shake to ensure all is coated. Once coated, sprinkle confetti/candy topping on the popcorn. Then spread popcorn out on waxed paper to dry, adding a little extra confetti if desired. Eat once dried...or while drying, if you can't resist.

RAINBOW CONFETTI MARSHMALLOW POPCORN TREATS

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium-low heat. Carefully stir in the vanilla extract (it will spatter), then add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir in the popcorn and 1/4 cup of the sprinkles until the popcorn is well coated, then immediately pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it firmly into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sprinkles on top.
• Let the treats sit for 20 minutes then slice into squares or bars and serve.

CONFETTI CORN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft. Stir in the bell pepper and saute for 2 more minutes.
• Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Over medium heat, add the corn, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the corn just loses its starchiness. Season to taste, gently stir in the basil or other green herbs, and serve hot.

CONFETTI PUFFED CORN

Steps:

• Place almond bark into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until melted, about 4 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
• Place puffed corn into a large bowl and pour smooth and melted almond bark on top. Toss puffed corn to evenly distribute almond bark.
• Distribute the colored sprinkles evenly over the puffed corn. Allow to cool before storing.
