Valentine Popcorn
To make this, we are going to create three homemade popcorn flavors: chocolate, cherry and pink lemonade. Each of these are made the exact same way with the exception of the ingredient that adds flavor.
Popcorn Ingredients:
- Popcorn
- Sugar
- Butter
- Water
- Salt
- Cherry Kool-Aid Powder
- Pink Lemonade Kool-Aid Powder
- Hot Cocoa Mix
How To Make Valentine Popcorn
First thing’s first: pop a few bags of popcorn. You can also buy pre-made popcorn if you’d like. Then, bring to a boil your sugar, water, butter and individual flavoring. Lower the heat and continue to stir for about 3 minutes until it’s all combined.
Quickly pour this mixture over a cup of popcorn in a large bowl. Mix it together with a spatula. Then, spread it over parchment paper and let it cool in the fridge for an hour or two.
You’ll need to do this three separate times for each popcorn flavor.
When all of your popcorn is made and ready, grab the other ingredients like M&Ms and candy corn and combine it all.
