Popcorn Recipe- Red, White and Blue Popcorn

Recipe- Red, White and Blue Popcorn

With Inauguration Day right around the corner and President’s Day coming up next month,  I thought it would be fun to make red, white and blue popcorn with JDaniel. We could nibble on it during the parade next week or just have it celebrate Inauguration Day. I think you will like this popcorn recipe too.
JDaniel was all for it. He love popcorn and snacking. Creating a popcorn snack was ideal for him. The rest of us like popcorn too and  kettle corn was sure to give us a sweet treat. I settled on one that I found on online at Our Best Bites. There are several versions online. This is probably the simplest and it listed honey as an alternative for corn syrup.

 Red, White, and Blue Popcorn Recipe

Recipe- Red, White and Blue Popcorn

While I heated up the butter, honey, sugar and jello mixtures on the stove, JDaniel emptied most of the two bags microwave popcorn into two bowls. I had two mixtures going at the same time. There was a blue mixture in one pot and a red mixture in the other. (I will never do this again. Next time it will be one color at a time.) The sugar mixtures cooled down way to fast to do two different posts at the same time.

When the mixtures were well blended, I dumped each in its respective bowl and started tossing. I had thought JDaniel could help with the tossing, but it was way to hot to have him work with it. I tossed one bowl and then the other. Back and forth I went until the popcorn was mostly covered with color.

Then I dumped them onto a cookie sheet covered in foil that I had sprayed with cooking spray. JDaniel helped spread the popcorn out and sample some of it. ( The sugar layer had cooled down a lot. )We both tried it and it was wonderful. It could have been considered done then, but we followed the recipe directions and baked it at 350 degrees for ten minutes.

It came out a little crunchier and still yummy. I would love to say that it is going to make it to Inauguration Day, but I think this batch will have disappeared. Maybe I shouldn’t have halved the recipe. We might have had some leftover if I hadn’t done that. I guess we will be making red, white and blue popcorn again.
