Seahawks Game Day Candied Popcorn
Fruit flavored popcorn in your favorite team's colors! Go Hawks!!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 12 c. microwave popcorn natural or light, popped
- 1/3 c. butter not margarine
- 1/2 c. light corn syrup
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid Your favorite flavor or team color
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- food coloring optional
- Skittles candies optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add corn syrup and sugar, stir until butter is melted. Increase the heat, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to keep the mixture at a simmer, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat, stir in Kool-Aid, baking soda, and food coloring if using, until well combined. Immediately add popcorn and stir until it’s all coated.
- Spread popcorn out onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Add Skittles as soon as the popcorn comes out of the oven. The heat from the popcorn mixture will help “glue” the Skittles to the popcorn. Cool completely and then break into chunks.
- Cook's Note: M&M's or peanuts would also make a great addition to your candied popcorn.
