Watching Miss America was always a yearly thing for me but it wasn’t an ‘event’ until one of my besties confessed a few years ago that she loves pageants – of course out came the champagne and plastic crowns! Since living in the woods for Miss America this year (& last year), I’ve made it an event with Wee One #2, who adores all things pink and girlie and glittery and pretty and omg she’s such a little diva I love it.<\/p>\n

We usually have a big spread and make a whole night of it, but she was practicing her embroidery and I had been helping Wee One #1 with homework for a good part of the day – so we settled on popcorn but of course only pink popcorn would do for such a girlie occasion! <\/p>\n

I’ve made loads of different caramel corn and I swear this recipe tastes just like the junk at the mall – the junk at the mall that you LOVE!! DON’T LIE TO ME!<\/i><\/b> Ahem. I plan to try this recipe out with drink crystal flavors and different colors! <\/p>\n

Old Fashioned Pink Popcorn<\/b> – from Cooking Classy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n\t\t2\/3 cup unpopped popcorn kernals
\n2 cups sugar
\n2\/3 cup half & half
\n1 tbsp light corn syrup\n\t\t<\/td>\n		\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n1 tsp vanilla

\n
Pop your popcorn and set aside. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, half & half, corn syrup and salt.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Cook this until it bubbles and looks all scary and you’re sure you’ve done something wrong. Use a candy thermometer to be sure your mixture gets to 232F.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
This is when you take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla and food coloring. If you’re experimenting with other colors and flavors, switch them up now!<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Mix the color in or the popcorn will be streaky.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
Pour your neon goo over the popcorn. Mmm. Neon goo.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
This works best of you divide all your popped popcorn in half first for easier mixing.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
Spread out the shiny, sticky popcorn onto parchment paper and let it dry (if you can stop yourself from picking at it).<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This stuff is addicting, so I’m glad I made it for a crowd!<\/div>\n
