Green Popcorn

Ingredients

 * 1/4 cup butter
 * 1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
 * 1/2 cup light corn syrup
 * 1 teaspoon salt
 * 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
 * 4 to 8 drops green food coloring
 * 3 quarts popped popcorn

Instructions

 * 1) Preheat the oven to 250 F.
 * 2) Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the sugar and light corn syrup. Let it come to a boil. When the sugar dissolves, remove the caramel syrup from the heat.
 * 3) Stir in the salt and baking soda. The syrup will bubble up. Let it settle down a bit, stirring, then add the green food coloring.
 * 4) Start with 4 to 5 drops. Stir it in. Add more food coloring until it reaches the desired shade of green.
 * 5) Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Pour the green caramel syrup over the popcorn. Toss to coat the popcorn well.
 * 6) Divide the popcorn between two jelly roll pans that have been lined with Silpat mats. Spread the green popcorn out into an even layer.
 * 7) Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
 * 8) Serve and enjoy immediately, or store the popcorn in an airtight container.
