Colored Popcorn Recipe
We filled our bags with one of our favorite treats… colored popcorn! This sweet + salty treat is so yummy and gives a little pop to a traditional treat. In a sauce pan bring 1/2 cup water and 1 cup of sugar to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add a few drops of your favorite food color and stir for a few more seconds. Pour over two bags of popped popcorn and stir to coat the popcorn. Tip: pour a little bit of colored sugar water over the popcorn at a time. You don’t want to over soak the popcorn or it will get mushy. Let sit for an hour to dry before putting the popcorn in bags.
