Ingredients
Instructions
-
Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method (air popper, stovetop, or microwave). Remove any unpopped kernels and place the popped popcorn in a large bowl.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes without stirring.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Divide the syrup into several small bowls depending on how many colors you want to make. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well until you achieve your desired colors.
-
Drizzle the colored syrup over the popped popcorn in the large bowl. Using a spatula or your hands, gently toss the popcorn until it is evenly coated with the colored syrup. Work quickly before the syrup hardens.
-
Optionally, sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the coated popcorn for added color and crunch.
-
Spread the colored popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set. Allow the popcorn to cool completely before serving.
