Valentine’s Day just isn’t about chocolates. We happen to know someone who loves jelly beans, another person who loves cotton candy and another who loves popcorn. Well, we’ve got a fun way to serve up that last item…add some color, perfect for your sweetheart!
How fun is this pink and red popcorn? It’s so easy to make, and takes no time at all. We served it up in our clear acetate boxes, or you could scoop it out of a bowl with one of our wooden cones. It’s just the thing for your child to bring to their classmates, or to leave some on a few desks at the office. Do you want to make some? Here’s how….
- Pop one bag of microwave popcorn (plain is best)
- In a sauce pan melt 1/2c. butter, 1/3c. brown sugar and 3tbsp of light corn syrup
- Once that is melted add on package of Jello, whichever color you like, stir until combined
- Pour mixture over popcorn and stir it up
- Finally, spread out onto a foil lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray (we figured that one out the hard way!), and bake in a 300F oven for 10 mins.
- Let cool and enjoy!
You can choose a color to suit your favorite sports team or holiday. How about red, white and blue for 4th of July, or green for St. Patrick’s Day.
Garnish + Enjoy
