4th of July Treat!


Want something fun to make for 4th of July... I found this on the internet yesterday and Gavin and I had fun making it today! Here's the recipe:


1 cup sugar

3 T. water

1 ½ t. vanilla

¼ c butter or margarine

3 drops of red and blue food coloring ( I used much more)

2 quarts of popped corn


You will make this in three batches one for each color. First mix together sugar, water, vanilla, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Pour over 2 quarts of popcorn. Stir until well coated. Pour on a cookie sheet or wax paper to cool. This is your white color popcorn. Next mix together the sugar, water, vanilla, butter and red food coloring in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Pour over 2 quarts of popcorn. Stir until well coated. Pour on a cookie sheet or wax paper to cool. This is your red popcorn. Now mix together the sugar, water, vanilla, butter and blue food coloring in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Pour over 2 quarts of popcorn. Stir until well coated. Pour on a cookie sheet or wax paper to cool. This is your blue popcorn. Lastly, pour the three colors of popcorn in a bowl or brown paper bag. Mix until the colors are blended. Enjoy!
