    Red Hot Popcorn Recipe

    Published: Nov 22, 2013 · This post may contain affiliate links

    This Red Hot Popcorn is crazy easy to make, looks super festive for the holidays, and best of all tastes great. The cinnamon flavor of the Red Hots coats the popcorn making it the perfect treat.

    I wonder how this Red Hot Popcorn would look like as a garland around the Christmas tree. You could do some really cool patterns with the Red Hot Popcorn and regular popcorn....hmmmmm now I am thinking.

    Ever since I made Sriracha Caramel Corn a few weeks ago I have been trying to find great ways to alter popcorn.

    This Red Hot Popcorn would make a fantastic holiday gift. I found the popcorn container I used at the Dollar Store for 2 of them.  For Christmas a couple of years ago I bought John and old time popcorn maker. The ones that look like they are from an early movie theater. We absolutely love making popcorn and curling up on the couch with a movie. Sometimes though it is nice to change up the plain ole popcorn for something a bit sweeter or spicier.

    Do you have a favorite popcorn recipe? What do you like to add to popcorn? I have heard of people adding M&M's to their popcorn but I have not tried it yet.

    Ingredients

    • Plain popped popcorn
    • Water
    • Red hot candies

    Recipe Tips

    The Red Hot Candy coating sets quickly so you will want to be prepared. Have everything set out and ready.

    Make sure to use cookie sheets with sides so the popcorn is contained on the sheet. The last thing you want to do is pull out the popcorn and have it slide into your oven.

      I made this at Christmas time for my Grandkids, they loved it.
      Not a bit of it was left and it does make a lot. Enjoy.

      I never would have thought of red hots and popcorn. It's very pretty.

      You MUST try M&Ms in popcorn!! It is the perfect blend of salty and sweet. My favorite snack, hands down.
