Dear Friend,

Popcorn is fun. The kids think itsmagic, watching it pop and seeing asnow ball of white kernels emerging

from the popper. And when you makecandy corn, then you introduce funflavors and vibrant colors.

We associate popcorn with movietheaters, carnivals, the state fair, andfamily times around the TV. It evokeswarm memories and days gone by. Itscomfort food. It seems like its all-American.

The genesis of this project was the

arrival of whole bunch of fun flavorslike coconut, bananas Foster, apricot nectar, andhuckleberry. So we went to work and made great popcorn. We paired the flavors withbright, vivid colors like Electric Purple and Lemon Yellow. Along the way, fun namesemerged like Bubbas Friday Night Root Beer Popcorn and Midnight Madness LicoricePopcorn.

We think youll have as much fun making these popcorns as we did. Just follow theinstructions and you wont have any trouble.

Thanks for making popcorn with us.

A Very Short History of Popcorn

Popcorn is one of the oldest snack foods, it was discovered by Native Americans andbecame a popular snack during the Depression. Because it was so cheap they startedselling it in movie theaters, which started something huge! It became even more popularduring WWII, sugar was scarce so people turned to popcorn as a replacement snack.With the emerging demand, more farmers turned to growing popping corn.

Helpful Tips for Success with Every Batch

There are really only three secrets to making candy popcorn: Use a thermometer, becareful not to let the sugar crystallize, and add baking soda. But well give you more.

Use a thermometer and cook your candy coating to 235 degrees but not to exceed245 degrees Fahrenheit. (Boiling time should not exceed 3 minutes.)Undercooked and its too sticky; overcooked and its too hard.

Dont let it crystallize. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pot while the sugar isdissolving in the liquid. Even one sugar crystal added to the syrup will cause thewhole batch to crystallize, making the syrup gritty and dull in color. Your candypopcorn wont be as pretty or tasty.

And if youre wondering why we have included baking soda to our candy popcornrecipeswell heres why: Baking soda helps aerate the caramel which makes iteasier to eat when cooled. Be careful, after you add the baking soda the syrup willget very frothy. To prevent bubbling over, keep stirring.

If you plan on making several different flavors/colors of popcorn do them all inseparate batches. If you were to separate the mixture after cooking a large batchand add color/flavor to each, the mixture will have cooled too much and you will notachieve the right temperature for making candy popcorn.

The flavor added in these recipes should be added last. The flavor becomes lesspotent the longer it stays in the heat. The syrup should be poured over popcorn

immediately after stirring in the flavor.

When youre pouring the syrup mixture into your bowl of popcorn, DO NOT scrapethe pan. There are sugar crystals stuck to the bottom of the pan that maycrystallize your entire batch of candy popcorn.

Colors for Your Candy Popcorn

Much of the fun of candy popcorn is the bright, vibrant colors you create. Its hard to dothat with liquid colors; color gels are up to nine times more concentrated. And there are so

many more colors to choose from than in the store. We especially like the electric colors.They are brighter, almost neon.

The related recipes are noted in parenthesis after the color.

We sell these at The Prepared Pantry, usually for well under $2 per bottle. At that priceand concentration, they are a great deal.
