COLORED POPCORN



Colored Popcorn image

I've been making this for 30+years. My kids used to look forward to it, especially at holiday time. You can make this any color you want, but for some reason I always did pink (I think it reminded my kids of the packaged "lucky" popcorn). Now my daughter is carrying on the tradition and making it for my grandkids. Recipe comes from an old newspaper clipping. If you plan on storing this, use a zip lock bag or container with a tight fitting lid.

Time 15m

Yield 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 quarts popped corn (remove unpoppped kernels)
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
2 -5 drops food coloring (your choice of color & intensity)
3 tablespoons icing sugar

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!

  • Bust out the spice grinder. Rather than just going ham and emptying half your spice cabinet directly into a bowl of popcorn, take the extra step to blend them up (yes, even the already powdered and ground spices) with salt in your spice grinder first.
  • Lean into the funk. For truly showstopping popcorn, think beyond just sweet and salty and include deep umami flavors. (To be honest, apply this tip to everything you cook and you won’t go wrong.)
  • Turn it into a dessert. Who says you need to eat popcorn right out of the bowl? In a nod to another nostalgic favorite—homemade Rice Krispies bars—turn popcorn into a shareable, snackable, portable sweet treat.
