Directions

Preheat oven to 250º F . Spread popped popcorn on baking sheets lined with parchment paper; set aside.

Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and cream of tartar in a medium saucepan. Clip on candy thermometer. Bring to boil, stirring constantly.

Cook to 250°F without stirring.

Remove from heat. After boiling action ceases, add flavoring and color. Add baking soda and stir in quickly but thoroughly. Pour at once while foamy over warm popcorn; mix gently to coat popcorn.
