MTN DEW® Popcorn by Fun Foods
Way better than your basic butter popcorn topping. This MTN DEW® riff on the classic movie-goer treat is just as entertaining to make, as it is to eat.
INGREDIENTS
\Entire Recipe
4 cups sugar, divided
1 cup light corn syrup, divided
1 ½ cups MTN DEW®, divided
1 bag microwave popcorn
2 Tablespoons butter
Neon green food coloring, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
POPCORN
- Place the popcorn bag into the microwave at full power for 2 ½ - 3 minutes, or until you hear pauses of about 2 seconds between pops. Carefully open the bag to avoid steam and pour onto a baking tray, spreading evenly.
- Place in the oven at 200°F. This will just keep the popcorn warm until you’re ready to use it again.
SYRUP
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine 2 cups sugar, ½ cup corn syrup and 1 cup of MTN DEW. Stir on medium heat as it comes to a boil. Remove from heat once it reaches 230°F.
- Pour in a small container and set aside. (That way, you can re-use your pan!)
