Prep Time

30 minutes

Cooking Time

8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 250ml (1 cup) granulated white sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) water
  • 15ml (1 Tbsp) butter
  • Food colouring of your choice
  • 1 pack plain microwave popcorn or 8 cups popcorn, popped
  • 6-8 marshmallows, chopped
  • 250ml (1 cup) Food Lover's Nuggles – we used Fudge, Raisin & Shortbread
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) sprinkles of your choice

Directions

  1. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and allow to gently boil for about 5 minutes, then add the butter and remove from the heat.
  3. Now you can colour the sugary syrup with your favourite colours.
  4. We divided the sugary syrup into 3 small bowls (be careful not to burn yourself, as sugar becomes extremely hot – ask an adult to help you here) and we used blue, yellow and green food colouring to dye our syrup.
  5. Pour the sugary syrup over the popcorn while it is still warm and mix through.
  6. Now add the marshmallows, Nuggles and sprinkles to your popcorn.
