Pink Popcorn

IngredientsI had a indoor soccer game on Valentine’s Day.  I wanted to make something special for my team.  So we made pink popcorn! It was easy!  Momma told me that she had a pink popcorn recipe I make by myself.

Here it is.

Make one large batch of unsalted plain popcorn. You need 10 cups, or more if you like it not so pink.
Boil1/2 cup of butter (Feel free to use less, Momma has a recipe that uses only 2 tablespoons, but we like this one better)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 package (3oz) jello, I chose raspberry for pink.
1/4 tsp baking soda

First pop the popcorn. You could probably make microwave, Foam upbut I made it on the stove. SeedsPut popcorn in cookie sheet with sides. A parchment covered pan is helpful but not needed. Take out all the unpopped seeds! Melt butter, sugar, corn syrup and jello on medium heat in a medium pan. Stir until it boils, try not to get it up the sides. When it boils, take off the heat.  Then put baking soda in. PourIt boils up! Recruit help to stir or pour on the topping. Stir popcorn as you pour the topping carefully over the popcorn.

Now chose if you want crunchy or sticky popcorn. If you want sticky popcorn, keep it the way it is or make it into popcorn balls. If you want crunchy put in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 300 degrees.   Stir and see if it is crunchy enough and cook longer if needed.Coat

To wash use HOTTER water than Momma can stand. If you soak it first, it is much easier. 🙂

Try not snitch it all before sharing!
