1
Pop popcorn using your preferred method.
-
2
I pop my popcorn in a large stainless steel pan with a lid.
-
3
Over medium heat I pour the canola oil into the pan and add 2 popcorn kernels.
-
4
Then place lid on pan, wait for the kernels to pop which will take about 3-5 minutes.
-
5
Then add the rest of the popcorn kernels and replace lid.
-
6
Then swirl the pan around to make sure all of the kernels are covered with the oil.
-
7
Let the popcorn pop, swirling the pan occasionally so none of the popcorn burns.
-
8
Popcorn should be done when you start to hear less than 2 pops every couple of seconds.
-
9
Remove from heat and put the popcorn in a cake or roasting pan.
-
10
Preheat oven to 200 F.
-
11
Place pan of popcorn in the oven on the top rack and let the popcorn warm.
-
12
I left mine in the entire time that I was making the candy sauce.
-
13
To make the candy sauce, combine the sugar, brown sugar, water, light corn syrup, white vinegar and salt in a medium sauce pan.
-
14
Set over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it starts to boil.
-
15
Let it boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it doesnt become hard and stick to the bottom of the pan.
-
16
After 2-3 minutes, remove pan from heat and add in butter, stirring until its fully melted.
-
17
Add 5-6 drops of green food coloring and stir until the sauce is completely green.
-
18
Take popcorn out of the oven and place it in a large mixing bowl.
-
19
Lightly drizzle about 1/4 of the pan of candy sauce over the popcorn.
-
20
Toss popcorn until most of the popcorn has a little green candy sauce on it.
-
21
Keep repeating the drizzling process with small batches of the candy sauce until all popcorn is lightly covered with candy sauce.
-
22
I had a little less than 1/8 of the candy sauce left over that I didnt use.
-
23
NOTE: Dont just dump the whole pan of candy sauce on the popcorn at once or you will most likely end up with a soupy mess!
