Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup popcorn kernels (about 14 cups popped)
2/3 cup 2% or whole milk
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract or paste
4-8 drops red food coloring (or any other color(s) you like)
Sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Make the popcorn using an air popper or in a large pop on the stovetop. Place the popped corn into one or two large bowls or roasting pans. You want to have plenty of room in the blow to stir and combine the popcorn with the coating in a later step. 2. Prepare an area to cool your popcorn. Place some large baking pans, silicone mats or sheets of wax paper on your work space. 3. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, corn syrup and salt. Add the sugar to the center of the pan and gradually combine into the liquid. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. 4. Stir occasionally and continue with a low boil until the mixture reaches about 230 degrees F (also known as the soft ball stage). 5. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and food coloring. Start with a couple drops of food coloring and add more until you reach your desired color. It's easy to add more color but you can't take it away! 6. Immediately drizzle the sugar mixture over the popcorn. As the sugar cools, it will become sticky. Working quickly, stir until the popcorn is evenly coated with the pink mixture. 7. Pour the popcorn on large baking sheets, silicone mats or sheets of wax paper to dry. While popcorn is still sticky, top with sprinkles if desired. 8. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes or until the popcorn clusters are easy to break apart.

SWEET POPCORN

Make a batch of sweet popcorn for a home movie night. It's a great snack for sharing, or divide into paper cones to avoid bickering!

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Snack, Treat

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tbsp vegetable oil
100g popcorn kernels
250g caster sugar
50g salted butter , cubed

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over a medium heat. Toss the popcorn kernels in the oil to coat. Put the lid on, and keep over a medium heat until you hear the first popcorn pop, then turn the heat to medium-low. When you begin to hear lots of popping, give the pan a shake. Continue to shake frequently until the popping stops. Turn off the heat and leave in the pan.
  • Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Put the sugar and 60ml water into a medium heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then leave over a medium heat, without stirring, for 6-8 mins. It should start to turn into a golden caramel, swirl it around and add the butter - stand back as it may spit a little. Stir well until combined.
  • Pour the caramel over the popcorn in the pan and stir immediately to coat the popcorn, being careful not to touch the hot caramel. Carefully transfer onto the lined baking tray and press down with the back of a spoon to spread evenly. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then break apart and eat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn: Use a good quality popcorn kernel that is specifically designed for popping. Fresh popcorn kernels will give you the best results.
  • Use the right amount of oil: Too much oil will make the popcorn greasy, while too little oil will make it dry. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 tablespoons of oil for every 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
  • Heat the oil properly: The oil should be hot enough to pop the popcorn, but not so hot that it burns the kernels. The ideal temperature for popping popcorn is between 350°F and 400°F.
  • Cover the pot: Covering the pot will help to trap the heat and steam, which will help the popcorn to pop more evenly.
  • Shake the pot frequently: Shaking the pot will help to keep the popcorn from burning and will also help to distribute the oil more evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the popcorn will not have enough room to pop properly and will end up being tough and chewy.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it is done popping: If you leave the popcorn on the heat for too long, it will start to burn.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the popcorn is popped, you can add your favorite toppings, such as salt, butter, cheese, caramel, or chocolate.

Conclusion:

Making sweet pink popcorn is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious and festive snack. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can make perfect sweet pink popcorn that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. Try experimenting with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination.
