Colored Popcorn - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 quarts popped corn (remove unpoppped kernels)
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
2 -5 drops food coloring (your choice of color & intensity)
3 tablespoons icing sugar

Preparation

Put popcorn in a large bowl that you have lightly buttered.
Put sugar and water in a small pan and boil to 238* on a candy thermometer (or until it forms a medium ball in cold water), adding the food coloring toward the last of the cooking.
Pour over the popcorn & stir evenly, then sprinkle at once with the icing sugar. Make sure you continue stirring until the syrup turns sugary and the kernels separate. Enjoy!
