How To Make Pink Popcorn Food

PERFECT POPCORN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium high heat. If you are using coconut oil, allow all of the solid oil to melt.
• Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan.
• When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. (Count out loud; it's fun to do with kids.) This method first heats the oil to the right temperature, then waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a near-popping temperature so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time.
• Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper). Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl. With this technique, nearly all of the kernels pop, and nothing burns.
• If you are adding butter, you can easily melt it by placing the butter in the now empty, but hot pan. Note that if you let the butter get just a little bit brown, it will add an even more intense, buttery flavor to the butter and to your popcorn. (Here's more info on how to brown butter.) Just drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and toss to distribute.
• Add salt to taste

HOW TO MAKE PINK POPCORN

Steps:

• 1. Make the popcorn using an air popper or in a large pop on the stovetop. Place the popped corn into one or two large bowls or roasting pans. You want to have plenty of room in the blow to stir and combine the popcorn with the coating in a later step. 2. Prepare an area to cool your popcorn. Place some large baking pans, silicone mats or sheets of wax paper on your work space. 3. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, corn syrup and salt. Add the sugar to the center of the pan and gradually combine into the liquid. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. 4. Stir occasionally and continue with a low boil until the mixture reaches about 230 degrees F (also known as the soft ball stage). 5. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and food coloring. Start with a couple drops of food coloring and add more until you reach your desired color. It's easy to add more color but you can't take it away! 6. Immediately drizzle the sugar mixture over the popcorn. As the sugar cools, it will become sticky. Working quickly, stir until the popcorn is evenly coated with the pink mixture. 7. Pour the popcorn on large baking sheets, silicone mats or sheets of wax paper to dry. While popcorn is still sticky, top with sprinkles if desired. 8. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes or until the popcorn clusters are easy to break apart.

OLD FASHIONED PINK POPCORN

Steps:

• Pop up your popcorn. I did mine on the stove old school style. Which for those of you who only do microwave popcorn means you pour some oil in a large stock pot, let the oil get hot, then place popcorn kernels in the bottom and cover with a lid. Then you wait for the magic to happen. Swish the pot around from time to time to keep things from burning and do not go too hot. You want a medium heat or you'll scorch it.
• Set popcorn aside.
• In a saucepan combine your sugar, milk, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat until your sugar dissolves.
• Now you want it at a low boil until the temperature reaches 230 degrees which is known as soft ball stage. If you do not have a thermometer you can grab a glass of super cold water, drop a little of the mixture in it, now grab that mixture with your fingers and if it forms a ball in the water then flattens out after it's out of the water that is soft ball stage. You can probably find videos of this online if you aren't quite sure what this all means.
• Stir occasionally until it reaches soft ball stage and then remove from heat, and add your vanilla and food coloring. Stir well.
• Now put your popcorn in a large bowl or even a big roasting pan. You want to have ample room to stir it really well.
• Now pour your pink mixture over top and stir well to coat.
• Now line a cookie sheet with parchment and transfer the popcorn to that to let it dry out.
• Try not to eat a boatload while waiting for it to cool. Impossible, trust me!
• Serve with a big old pink grin!

PINK ELEPHANT POPCORN

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter over low heat. Stir in marshmallows until they are soft but not melted. Add flavored gelatin mix. Stir until everything is a nice pink color throughout. The gelatin will not dissolve completely, but that's all right. Pour evenly over popcorn and stir until popcorn is evenly coated.
