Ingredients
1 cup Popcorn Kernels
3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring
4 tablespoons Butter, melted
1/4 cup Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover. Once they pop, add the remaining kernels, cover, and shake occasionally until popping slows. Transfer popcorn to a bowl.
Mix the melted butter, red food coloring, and sugar (if using) in a small bowl until combined.
Drizzle the red mixture over the popcorn while tossing gently to coat.
Spread the popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it sit for about 5 minutes to set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
Notes
Customize with additional toppings like nuts or pretzels for extra crunch. Store in a dry place for best texture.
