How to Make Sweet Pink Popcorn
- Pop 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels in an air popper according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup water, and 1-2 drops of red food coloring (adjust for desired intensity). Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes until sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let the sugar mixture cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
- Gently pour the cooled sugar mixture over the popped popcorn. Toss carefully to ensure all popcorn is evenly coated.
- Spread the popcorn in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it air dry for at least 30 minutes, or until the coating is completely set. Alternatively, for faster drying, bake in a 200°F (93°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Let cool completely before serving and enjoy your sweet pink popcorn!
