Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pop your popcorn ahead of time. I'm old school and do it in a large stock pot on the stove.
  • In a large saucepan combine all the other ingredients except the food colouring. Cook over medium heat until well combined and a bit bubbly. Remove from heat. Add the food colouring and whisk until well combined.
  • Allow to cool a little bit. Pouring piping hot liquid over popcorn causes it to shrink so always allow some cool down time.
  • Pour over popcorn and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees, low is good, we're not cooking the popcorn, we're drying it out, even 200 degrees would work.
  • Pour the popcorn on the parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Place in oven for 30 to 60 minutes. You need to be turning it over every 15 minutes or so.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Serve with a big old oops I did it again smile!
