Ingredients
-
8 cups popped popcorn
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1/4 cup light corn syrup
-
2 tablespoons water
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
Red food coloring gel
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the popcorn and place it in a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and a pinch of salt.
-
Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Then, stop stirring and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and several drops of red food coloring gel until a deep, bloody red color forms.
-
Quickly drizzle the red syrup over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat some pieces while leaving others white for a dramatic effect.
-
Spread the popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely.
-
Once hardened, break apart and serve in a spooky-themed bowl for full Halloween vibes.
Notes
-
Use gloves while tossing the popcorn to avoid staining your hands with the red coloring.
-
Add black or dark chocolate drizzle for an extra creepy contrast.
-
Store in an airtight container to keep the popcorn crisp for up to 2 days.
