Be sure to give yourself a little time to make this folks,
the longer you smoosh the popcorn around in the bag and let it sit in the dye, the better the color coverage.
- As a point of reference, for each 1/4 C of popcorn plan on about 20 drops of food coloring.
- For orange, only add about 3 drops of red and the rest yellow. Smoosh around and check color, you might need one more drop of red for it to look orange.
- If you'd like to fill a regular sized Mason jelly jar, you'll need about 3/4 cups of popcorn total.
- I also tried this with food coloring gel and do not recommend that. It stayed kinda sticky and just sat in the bottom of the air popper.
Popcorn
Food coloring drops-as many drops as required to achieve desired color
- Put popcorn in sandwich baggie.
- Add food coloring and smoosh around until evenly distributed. Leave popcorn in baggie for a while (an hour or two) to absorb all of the food coloring.
- Spread out on cookie sheets to dry completely.
- Package as desired.
Let's have some Halloween fun and Have a Happy Day:@)

Now isn't that a fun idea for giving as gifts, Lynn? Who wouldn't love popping that colored popcorn? I'm glad that you tried the gel coloring for us ahead of time to see that it didn't work.

Hi!I came from SYC!Such fun!Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYess queen! Tonight, the Halloween colored popcorn is happening!
ReplyDeleteCan his be done in any color?
ReplyDeleteHello, I've used red, green and orange so far. I don't see why it wouldn't work using food coloring drops. The good thing is you can try it with just a few kernels and see how you like it. Have fun:@)
