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 POPCORN

Steps:

• Put the popped popcorn in a large bowl, carefully picking out any unpopped kernels. (I do this by popping into one bowl, then lightly scooping out the popcorn with my hands into another, leaving the unpopped kernels in the bottom.) Preheat the oven to 250F. Line one or two rimmed baking sheets with foil.
• In a medium saucepan (with room for the mixture to at least double in size), bring the sugar, Jell-O, water and butter to a boil. Once fully boiling cook for 4 minutes without stirring, swirling the bowl occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and soda. Pour over the popcorn and toss with tongs to coat completely. Spread out onto the baking sheets and bake, stirring once or twice, for an hour.
• Set aside to cool.
