Green Colored Popcorn Food

GREEN POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 F.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the sugar and light corn syrup. Let it come to a boil. When the sugar dissolves, remove the caramel syrup from the heat.
• Stir in the salt and baking soda. The syrup will bubble up. Let it settle down a bit, stirring, then add the green food coloring.
• Start with 4 to 5 drops. Stir it in. Add more food coloring until it reaches the desired shade of green.
• Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Pour the green caramel syrup over the popcorn. Toss to coat the popcorn well.
• Divide the popcorn between two jelly roll pans that have been lined with Silpat mats. Spread the green popcorn out into an even layer.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
• Serve and enjoy immediately, or store the popcorn in an airtight container.

GREEN SLIME POPCORN

Steps:

• Lightly crush 2 cups of caramel popcorn and mix with the uncrushed popcorn.
• Add the butter and marshmallows to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until hot and the marshmallows are beginning to melt, 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Stir very well until completely combined.
• Add the food coloring to get the desired bright green color (we used 10 drops yellow and 1 drop green) and stir until evenly distributed.
• Add the popcorn and stir very well to completely coat.
• Serve immediately or place in a small slower cooker on low heat to stay warm.

COLORED POPCORN

Steps:

• Put popcorn in a large bowl that you have lightly buttered.
• Put sugar and water in a small pan and boil to 238* on a candy thermometer (or until it forms a medium ball in cold water), adding the food coloring toward the last of the cooking.
• Pour over the popcorn & stir evenly, then sprinkle at once with the icing sugar. Make sure you continue stirring until the syrup turns sugary and the kernels separate. Enjoy!

RAINBOW KETTLE CORN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide the sugar evenly between 6 small bowls, 2 tablespoons per bowl.
• Dye each bowl of sugar a different color by adding 1-2 drops of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple food coloring. Stir each bowl with a clean fork until the sugars are sandy in texture. Note: We recommend gel food coloring, as the colors are more stable. Only use 1-2 drops; a little goes a long way.
• Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 2 popcorn kernels to a medium nonstick saucepan with a lid. Cover and place over medium-high heat. Once the kernels pop, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels and 1 bowl of colored sugar. Immediately cover the pan and shake to combine. Cook, shaking the pan constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't burn, while the popcorn pops. Once the pops are more than 3 seconds apart, remove the pot from heat. Carefully remove the lid away from your body and pour the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Evenly sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt over the hot kettle corn. Let the popcorn cool completely, transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining colors, replacing the parchment paper as needed.
• Combine all of the popcorn in a large bowl. Toss to distribute the colors evenly. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Enjoy!
