Ingredients
12 cups (3.6 oz) popped popcorn1 ½ cups sugar½ cup vanilla sugar⅔ cup whole milk2 tbsp golden corn syrup¼ tsp kosher salt1 tbsp vanilla½ dram concentrated cherry flavour3 drops liquid red food colouring
Place popcorn in a food processor and pulse until broken up into small “pebbles”. Pour into a large bowl and set aside.
In a saucepan combine sugars, milk, corn syrup and salt. Place over medium heat and cook until sugar dissolves.
Raise heat and bring mixture to a slow boil. Cook until the temperature reaches 230F, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, cherry flavour and food coloring.
Pour over the popcorn “pebbles” and stir well to coat.
Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let stand overnight.
Heat the oven to 300F. Bake the sheet of popcorn for 15 minutes, until lightly golden and no longer super sticky on top.
Flip the piece of candy (it should be essentially a solid mass) and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Turn off the oven and let cool completely inside.
