I had pinned a neat idea – for colored “caramel” corn — from HERE. I had envisioned a batch of pink and purple corn, with Pink Lemonade and Grape Kool Aid. This was a GREAT idea because, when watching the sales, you can stock up on Kool Aid packets for $.05 or less!
So I tried her recipe for the pink.
Oiy!
What work and it took over an hour…AND I had to use both the stove and oven!
Holy hot kitchen Batman!
SOOOOO much easier and in less than 10 minutes!

I had pinned a neat idea – for colored “caramel” corn and here are the yummy results!
Ingredients
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/4 cup white corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 packet Kool Aid
Instructions
- Start with 1 stick of butter, 1/4 cup white corn syrup and 1 cup sugar.
- Pop it in the microwave and zap 2 minutes, remove and stir.
- Zap 1 more minute, until “bubbly”.
- Remove from microwave and stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 packet of Kool Aid.
- This will give you the pretty color – but be careful, it foams up a little bit.
- Now, take a couple batches of popped corn, 16-20 cups worth, in a brown paper bag.
- Pour your hot mix over it, trying to stay in the center.
- Roll up the bag and shake it
- Now, roll it up and stick in your microwave for 1 minute on high
- Remove from microwave and shake again.
- Repeat one more time — zap and shake.
- Pour it out of the bag onto cookie sheets – spread it out to cool.
- Simply break it apart a bit and ENJOY!
