Instructions
- Pop up your popcorn. I use my Whirley Pop.
- Set popcorn aside.
- In a small saucepan add your sugar, milk, corn syrup and salt. Cook over low~medium heat until your sugar dissolves.
- Stir occasionally until it reaches 230 degrees or a soft ball stage and then remove from heat, and add your vanilla (or other flavorings/ Jell-O powder) and food coloring. Stir well.
- Put your popcorn in a large mixng bowl with enough room to stir it really well.
- Now pour your pink mixture over top and stir well to coat all the popcorn.
- Now line a cookie sheet with wax paper and spread the popcorn out to let it dry .If you in a hurry, pop it in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
I feel like a princess eating it. You could make it any color..lavender, baby blue , or make some small multi color batches for a rainbow!
