EASY CANDIED POPCORN RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Put popped popcorn in a large roasting pan. Be very careful not to get any kernels!
• Place butter, Karo syrup, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbly at the edges. Cook on medium heat for another five minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat, and quickly stir in the baking soda and the two packages of Kool-Aid. The mixture will foam up (which is why we used a larger saucepan), so don't be alarmed.
• Pour the hot sugar mixture over the popcorn and stir until well coated.
• Bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes
• Spread on parchment paper to cool in a single layer.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients in a heavy sauce pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium; bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers 255°F. Remove from heat; stir in salt and vanilla. Quickly pour mixture over popcorn; toss gently to coat. Add nonpareils, tossing gently to combine. Moisten or grease hands. Working quickly, press the mixture into 5-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. If candied corn becomes too hard to shape, place in a warm (200°F) oven for a few minutes to soften.
