Sugar Popcorn Treat (Quick & Cheap)

Oh, I have got the BEST recipe for you today.  It’s low-cost.  It’s colorful.  It’s fun.  It’s easy.  Sugar Popcorn is the perfect treat or snack for a big party or crowd.  You can make a lot quickly and hardly spend anything.  Think of it for church groups, birthday parties, school ideas, etc.
This popcorn has a very sweet, sugary flavor.  It’s very basic and simple.
This recipe is actually from my own mama.  She used to make this for me when I needed to bring a GREEN food to school on St. Patrick’s Day.  She could whip it up in minutes and have enough for my whole class.

You are gonna want to have this recipe FOREVER.

My Little Son calls it “Painted Popcorn”
These are the ingredients you need (exact amounts below):
Here’s the recipe:
SUGAR POPCORN

2 cups popcorn kernels (un-poppped)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 TB water
1 TB butter
Food coloring

var r = document.URL;

Pop your popcorn (air popped works best).  This time I put my own kernels in the paper bag in the microwave (1/2 cup at a time).  Roll the bag top. Pop for about 2 minutes (listen to when it slows down).






 Put all ingredients in sauce pan (minus the popcorn).  Bring everything to boil, stirring constantly.

As soon as it boils, pour it immediately over your popcorn and stir it around until all the popcorn is covered.  Let it stand a few minutes.  The popcorn does not really stick together.  It’s easy to separate.




That’s all!  Enjoy.  Best if eaten fresh.
