Candy Corn Popcorn Recipe

How to make colorful sweet popcorn originally called Mother Goose popcorn.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 bags of microwave popcorn
  • food coloring

Instructions

  • Pop popcorn and take out un-popped kernels.
  • Mix sugar and water (and a couple drops of food coloring if you want color) in a pan and bring to a boil.
  • Boil to softball stage (230 degrees).
  • Pour over popcorn and stir until it turns to sugar on popcorn.
  • Lay popcorn out on wax paper until the popcorn sets.
  • Repeat with yellow and orange food coloring added to batches.

Notes

Instead of layering the popcorn. Mix it all together and serve in a bowl.
Or serve each color in it's own bowl next to each other to look layered like candy corn.
