Are you looking for a fun, delicious, and eye-catching treat? Green popcorn might be just what you’re searching for! This unique and vibrant snack is perfect for themed parties, Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations, or simply adding a bit of color to your movie night. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of making green popcorn in 10 easy steps.

1. Gather your ingredients: To make green popcorn, you will need plain popcorn kernels, vegetable oil or coconut oil, green food coloring (liquid or gel), sugar, and salt.

2. Prepare the popcorn: Using an air popper or stovetop method, pop the plain popcorn kernels according to the package instructions. For best results and even cooking, use a large saucepan with a lid or a stovetop popcorn maker.

3. Preheat oven: Before candy-coating your popcorn, preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This will help with drying out the coated popcorn later on.

4. Color the oil: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil or coconut oil with 5-6 drops of liquid green food coloring (or use gel food coloring according to package instructions). Mix well until you obtain an even green color.

5. Make sugar syrup: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and ¼ cup of water. Stir continuously until the sugar fully dissolves and starts to boil.

6. Add colored oil: Once the sugar has dissolved and reached a boiling point with the water, gradually add in the green-colored oil while constantly stirring the mixture together.

7. Cook sugar mixture: Continuously stirring, let the sugar and oil mixture come to a boil again and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it reaches a syrup-like consistency.

8. Coat popcorn: Carefully pour the hot sugar and oil mixture over the cooked popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently and evenly to ensure all the popcorn is coated in the green syrup.

9. Bake popcorn: Spread the coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for around 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even drying.

10. Let cool and serve: Remove the green popcorn from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. For an added touch, sprinkle some salt over the popcorn before enjoying your colorful treat.

Now that you’ve successfully made green popcorn, go ahead and impress your friends or family members with this unique snack! Just don’t be surprised if they ask you to make some more!
