I love the 4th of July. Usually, we have warm and summery weather (we should in July, but this is Wisconsin!!) and our garden and a yard is green and full. Everyone in our neighborhood is outdoors and enjoying being together with friends and family. It ends with fireworks nearby and more celebrating late into the night. We used to have parties and I love the patriotic theme but more and more we’re enjoying just being home over the holiday. Either way, it’s a time to celebrate and treats are necessary! 4th of July Popcorn is festive and tasty. Make your own popcorn or skip a step and use bagged popcorn.
4th of July Popcorn
Ingredients:
-
- Popcorn
-
- Almond Bark or White Chocolate
-
- Red & Blue Food Coloring
-
- Marshmallows
-
- Butter
- Sprinkles
Directions:
After gathering ingredients, melt the marshmallows and butter together.
Use 1 tbsp of butter for each 1 cup of marshmallows you use. It will vary depending on how much popcorn you make.
Once the marshmallow and butter mixture has melted, pour over your popcorn and stir until popcorn is evenly coated.
Lay the popcorn out on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.
Add sprinkles while the popcorn is still wet. Mix the candy and sprinkles into the popcorn.
Melt the almond bark or white chocolate on the stove on low heat.
Separate the almond bark or white chocolate into two pans. Using food coloring, dye one pan red, and one pan blue. If the almond bark or white chocolate seizes up, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening to thin it down.
Drizzle the melted almond bark or white chocolate over the popcorn and enjoy!
