 Something fun and whimsical




  
PINK POPCORN WITH MILK SHOTS (makes 2 servings)

For the popcorn

4 tablespoons popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon butter 
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons water
2 drop of pink colouring
8 tablespoons icing sugar


For the milk shots 

some honey / white chocolate, melted
a handful rainbow sprinkles


Method


Heat vegetable oil in a medium-sized pot. Melt butter in oil. Sprinkle popcorn kernels into the pot and swirl the pot to coat them evenly in oil. Cover the pot with a lid and turn heat to medium.

Once the kernels start popping, turn heat to low. Leave the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape. Shake the pot vigorously once or twice to allow the rest of the kernels to pop. Popping will slow down after 1 to 2 minutes. When it comes to a complete stop, transfer it to a large bowl.

Put icing sugar and water in the same pot and bring it to a boil. Add 2 small drops of pink colouring. Stir until the icing sugar is completely dissolved. The sugar mixture should now have a caramel consistency to it.

Pour the popcorn back into the pot and stir quickly until it is evenly coated with the sugar mixture. 

Prepare some shot glasses. Dip the rim of the glasses in either honey or melted white chocolate. Place a handful of rainbow sprinkles in a bowl or saucer. Hold the glasses upside down while slowly turning them until the edge of the glasses is covered with sprinkles.

 Fill the glasses with some milk.
