CANDY POPCORN
I remember having candied popcorn when I visited my grandparents as a young child. We would visit a kiosk where we would watch the popcorn being made. The hardest decision was always what colour to choose. This recipe was given to me from a friend. This recipe makes 5 to 6 cups of delicious candied popcorn This syrup gets extremely hot-please watch it cooking the WHOLE time it is on the stove. Be very careful not to get any on your hands.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pan over a medium to high heat. Add the popping corn and cover. Shake the pan occasionally, until the popping stops. Or, the other option is to use the microwave or a popcorn maker.
- Transfer the popped corn to a large bowl, removing any unpopped corn kernels. If you have a seriously large metallic bowl you can later pour in the candy over the top of the popcorn -The bowl must be big enough to be able to toss the popcorn without it spilling over.
- Using a heavy based pan, combine the sugar, water and food colouring. Stir over heat, without boiling, until the sugar has dissolved . Use the largest saucepan/boiler that you can find.
- Please stand-by the stove whilst the candy is boiling, you will need to stir the mixture frequently. Bring to the boil. Boil uncovered for about 12 to 15 minutes. The temperature should be 150°C using a candy thermometer. If you do not have a thermometer drop a teaspoon of the candy mixture into a glass of water- the mixture should crack.
- Remove the candy mixture from the heat. Add the popcorn and stir quickly (and I do mean quickly!) to coat the popcorn with the candy.
- Spread the popcorn on foil lined trays to cool. Separate the popcorn as it is cooling with a wooden spoon or hands (be careful it is not too hot though!).
- Store in an airtight container for 3 - 4 days. The candied popcorn is best eaten after the candy has fully set and dried.

CANDIED ALMOND BARK POPCORN
A yummy twist on normal buttered popcorn that is quick to make and oh so good! Almond bark is slightly sweeter than white chocolate and just melts in your mouth. You can make this recipe festive for any holiday by adding any color sprinkles while popcorn is still warm. Wait until it is completely cooled before breaking it up and storing it.

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn. Not all popcorn is created equal. For candy bar popcorn, you'll want to use a popcorn that is light and fluffy. Avoid popcorn that is dense or has a lot of hulls.
- Pop the popcorn properly. The key to perfect popcorn is to pop it properly. Use a popcorn popper or a large pot with a lid. Add the popcorn kernels to the popper or pot and heat over medium heat. Once the kernels start to pop, shake the popper or pot constantly until the popping stops.
- Add the candy coating. Once the popcorn is popped, it's time to add the candy coating. You can use a variety of candy coatings, such as chocolate, caramel, or toffee. To make the candy coating, melt the candy in a saucepan over low heat. Once the candy is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the popcorn. Stir until the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Add toppings. Once the popcorn is coated, you can add toppings. Some popular toppings include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and candy pieces. Be creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
- Store the popcorn properly. Candy bar popcorn can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also store it in the freezer for up to six months.
