Ingredients

• 1 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light corn syrup
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 drop gel food coloring
• 2 teaspoons edible glitter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil along with a few popcorn kernels. Cover with a lid and wait for the test kernels to pop.

Step 2

Once the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover and shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Continue cooking until the popping slows down to 2-3 seconds between pops. Remove from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl, discarding unpopped kernels.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, butter, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is fully melted and the ingredients are combined.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil without stirring. Continue boiling for 4-5 minutes until the sugar mixture thickens and reaches a temperature of 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and gel food coloring until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the colored sugar mixture over the prepared popcorn. Use a large spatula or spoon to toss and evenly coat the popcorn with the glaze.

Step 7

Spread the glazed popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. While the coating is still sticky, sprinkle edible glitter evenly over the popcorn.

Step 8

Let the popcorn cool completely at room temperature, allowing the glaze to harden (about 15 minutes).

Step 9

Once cooled, break apart any clumps and transfer the Glitterrazzi Popcorn to a serving bowl. Enjoy your sparkling treat!
