Valentine’s Popcorn

Pin It

Rose are red,

Violets are blue,

Pink and purple popcorn,

Is perfect for you.

 

I have poet laureate in my future, I just know it. But until then, I shall make popcorn. I shall make popcorn in all different colors, and I shall like it.

I shall.

While I was making the Party Popcorn last week, I found some pink and purple candy melts, along with more sprinkles that I needed to use up, in the back of my baking drawer, and decided I would make some to celebrate upcoming Valentine’s day. And what Valentine wouldn’t like some pink or purple, Barney-inspired popcorn? Exactly. Everyone needs a little pink and purple popcorn in their life once in a while. It’s true.

 

 

As I mentioned in the Party Popcorn post, this snack goes together with ease and makes the perfect treat for parties. So cute packaged and tied up with bow.

 

 

For the full recipe and technique, check out the Party Popcorn post. You’ll see how easy it really is and will be making your own festive popcorn in no time.

 

It’s a Valentine’s party!

I’m very tickled (and honored) to be a part of a virtual Valentine’s Party with some super talented friends. They always amaze me with their creations. I wish they were my neighbors and I’d be just casually dropping by to borrow random things all the time…

“So, I can’t find my 3/4″ drill bit…oooOooOooh…what’s that I smell? Cake? Cookies? Sure, I’d love to taste test that for you.”

That would be me all the time with these ladies. Check out their Valentine’s goodies. You’ll be amazed!

    I’ve made this popcorn many times, but never thought to add the sprinkles. I love this idea! It makes it so festive. I also make a butter and sugar popcorn glaze sometimes, which is also super quick and easy. http://www.jensfavoritecookies.com/2012/01/06/sweet-popcorn-glaze/
