Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the sugar evenly between 6 small bowls, 2 tablespoons per bowl.
- Dye each bowl of sugar a different color by adding 1-2 drops of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple food coloring. Stir each bowl with a clean fork until the sugars are sandy in texture. Note: We recommend gel food coloring, as the colors are more stable. Only use 1-2 drops; a little goes a long way.
- Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 2 popcorn kernels to a medium nonstick saucepan with a lid. Cover and place over medium-high heat. Once the kernels pop, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels and 1 bowl of colored sugar. Immediately cover the pan and shake to combine. Cook, shaking the pan constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't burn, while the popcorn pops. Once the pops are more than 3 seconds apart, remove the pot from heat. Carefully remove the lid away from your body and pour the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Evenly sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt over the hot kettle corn. Let the popcorn cool completely, transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining colors, replacing the parchment paper as needed.
- Combine all of the popcorn in a large bowl. Toss to distribute the colors evenly. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels: Fresh kernels will pop better and result in a crispier, tastier kettle corn.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven: You need a large pot or Dutch oven to allow the popcorn to pop and expand properly.
- Use enough oil: Make sure to use enough oil to coat the popcorn kernels. This will help the popcorn pop evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Add the sugar and salt at the right time: Add the sugar and salt to the popcorn after it has popped. This will help prevent the sugar from burning and the salt from becoming too salty.
- Stir the popcorn constantly: Stir the popcorn constantly while it is popping. This will help prevent it from burning and ensure that all of the kernels pop.
- Let the popcorn cool before serving: Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving. This will help the sugar and salt to set and prevent the popcorn from becoming soggy.
