CANDIED POPCORN


This is a family favorite of our Grandma Dahle's.   She always filled her house with love and food.

First pop your pop corn 4-5 quarts and take out all unpopped kernels.  Set this aside.
In a 2 quart pan
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 Tbs Corn Syrup
2 Tbs Butter

Bring to a boil and then turn down, Cooking  to 235 for soft ball stage.   Then remove from heat and add food coloring.  Then quickly poor over the popcorn.

Note: if you do happen to get sticky popcorn:  Toss it onto a cookie sheet and cook and a low temp of 250 for 10- 15 minutes or until it dries out.
