Comment préparer St Patrick's Day Popcorn
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Place popped popcorn in a large, shallow roasting pan.
- Keep popcorn warm in the preheated oven while you prepare the candy coating.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, water, corn syrup, white vinegar, and salt.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the candy thermometer reaches 250°F (121°C) – this is the hard-crack stage. Be careful, as the mixture will be very hot.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the butter until it's completely melted and incorporated.
- Stir in a few drops of green food coloring, mixing until you achieve your desired shade of green. Start with a few drops and add more as needed.
- Carefully drizzle the hot candy mixture evenly over the warm popcorn in the roasting pan.
- Using two spoons or tongs, gently toss the popcorn to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Let the popcorn cool completely in the pan. This will allow the candy coating to harden.
- Once cooled, break the popcorn into smaller pieces for easier serving.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
