Candied Popcorn


Popcorn may just be the best thing ever invented. If I had to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, I'd probably choose popcorn. But I'm glad I don't have to do that, because I love lots of different foods. Anyway, with this popcorn, I made it patriotic by adding food coloring. I used two different colors, so I made two batches. You don't have to make it patriotic if you don't want to. You can make it for different holidays, birthdays, or for fun. I made it for Activity Days. The girls loved it. They went back for seconds. Then, I was babysitting my niece and nephews, my niece tried the leftovers and said that it was the best popcorn she had ever tasted. Now, realize that she's five, and every experience is the best ever. It also was sugary, and she loves sugary stuff, but it is really good. I got this recipe from another blog that I'm following. Here you go!

Candied Popcorn

1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water

Few drops of food coloring (optional)
