# What You’ll Need:
→ Popcorn
01 - 6 cups freshly popped popcorn (approximately 1/4 cup unpopped kernels or 1 microwavable bag, plain or lightly salted)
→ Coating
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 1/3 cup light corn syrup or honey
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
07 - 2 tablespoons red sprinkles
08 - 2 tablespoons green sprinkles
# How To Make It:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Place the freshly popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and remove any unpopped kernels.
03 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
04 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
05 - Immediately pour the hot mixture over the popcorn. Using a silicone spatula, gently toss the popcorn to coat evenly.
06 - Quickly scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping small piles or clusters.
07 - While the coating is still sticky, generously sprinkle the red and green sprinkles over each pile.
08 - Allow the popcorn piles to cool and set for 10 minutes before serving.
