Easy Skittles Popcorn

My two favorite snack foods are candy and popcorn.   I especially have a total weakness for popcorn.   So, combining my two favorite snack foods in to one recipe to Make Super Bowl 50 Even Sweeter by creating Easy Skittles Popcorn was basically a no brainier on my part.

Easy Skittles Popcorn

Skittles Popcorn recipe is not only easy  to make but totally yummy.  Each kernel taste just like the Skittles color.  Not kidding.  Believe me when I say it does too.  This job required me to test large batches of each flavors.  I definitely consumed a rainbow of colors.

How to make Skittles Popcorn. Skittles candy melted on popcorn taste just like the flavor color! So easy to make and super yummy!

How to make Skittles Popcorn:

  1. Separate 32 oz of Skittles in to colors.  You should have about 1 cup of each color.
  2. Melt 4 oz of butter and 1/4 cup light corn syrup in a pan.
  3. Add in one Skittle flavor and stir constantly until Skittles are melted.
  4. Pour over 10-12 cups of popped Popcorn.  I used one whole bag of microwave popcorn per  color batch.
  5. Mix until popcorn is well covered.
  6. Pour out on to wax paper until cooled.

 

 

 

Embossed Bags

No matter how easy a recipe may be, it’s all about the presentation.  To serve the Skittles Popcorn, I embossed brown paper bags with a Sizzix Big Shot and embossing folders.  Brown paper bags are another one of my favorite things.  So many possibilities can be made with them.   Kraft paper has a special place in my heart.

To make the Popcorn bags ready for a Football party, I wrapped them with green twine and used my Silhouette to cut out football cut files.

    What a fun recipe! My kids would go crazy for colored popcorn like that. This would be great to make year-round too, using different colors, etc. Thanks for this idea! [client}

    Would I be able to make this the day before a party? If so, how would I store it?

      Hi Rachel. Thanks for visiting. You should have no problem storing the popcorn in a ZipLock baggie. That’s what we did with the leftovers. Holly 🙂

    The flavor is second to none, very easy to make, and fun to make. But is there a way to keep the popcorn from being so sticky?

      Hi Daevon, it’s been a while since I’ve made the popcorn so I can’t really remember how sticky it was but I do know I did save some in zip-lock and it wasn’t sticky. Maybe you didn’t use enough popcorn? Thanks for visiting- Holly

      I suggest spreading it over a foil lined baking sheet and baking for 20-30 minutes at 300 degrees. Toss it around every 10 minutes to make sure to dry all of the candy. This will make the coating crunchy instead of sticky

    Wow! This popcorn looks so yummy to me! These kinds of candies, like Skittles and Starbursts, are some of my favorites so when I came across this on Pinterest, I just had to have the recipe and also subscribe to your blog. These kind of treats are the best and I can’t wait to try it! Question, do you think you could also make this popcorn with the Starburst candy?
