Also a word of caution: Be careful when adding the food coloring to the hot mixture. It splatters everywhere! Next time I will put the pan in the sink before adding it.

Mission was accompli...Brooke, re my comment above. Mission was accomplished and hope you do not mind me sharing my experience making the popcorn which was as follows:<br /><br />a) If wanting a heavy coating; do 'not' double the ingredients but instead divide your sixteen cups into two and prepare as separate batches. (Reason explained below.)<br />b) If 'not' using pure vanilla, double the ingredient of artificial vanilla (otherwise it will be extremely sweet.)<br />c) When the syrup mixture reaches a rapid boil; start timing your four minutes then.<br /> <br />d) For combining the syrup and popped popcorn invest in two disposable (cheap) foil roasting pans and give the utensils beings used, a light spray of cooking oil to make clean up easy.<br />e) For your baking sheets, I recommend lining them with parchment paper for the above reason as well.<br />e) A second pair of helping hands is beneficial when applying the syrup to the popcorn as the mixture cools off rapidly and can quickly harden. (i.e: One person to add the syrup while the other mixes/tosses the popcorn.)<br /><br />f) When baking, do 'not' overload your baking sheets and place only on middle rack. (I used a total of three large ones.)<br />g) Regarding the baking time, I personally found that 20 to 25 minutes maximum (with two stirs) was sufficient so I recommend doing the taste test. In other words .... if your popcorn has a crunch ...... it is done! (I notice another commenter (Ashley) found 20 minutes was sufficient as well.)<br /><br />Confession: With no intention of criticism; I ruined my first batch from over baking it but want to add; ovens do vary in temperatures plus I used a hot air popper to prepare my popcorn which I made the day before and sealed in airtight baggies which may have affected the baking time. <br /><br />Last but not least, a big 'thank you' to Brooke as the popcorn addition to the children's loot bags was a great success. I labelled them as "Creeper Boogers" and "Eat At Your Own Risk" which the eight year olds (all boys) thought was pretty cool. ☺ -Brenda- <br /><br />Footnote: For those who may be packaging popcorn in 16 oz. cups with dome lids, they take approximately 2 2/3 cups of popped corn. <br />mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078431974378837142.post-57809861642449909752014-03-31T09:02:27.526-07:002014-03-31T09:02:27.526-07:00@mrsben You are very welcome.

It should keep for a week or more. <br /><br />@ Anonymous I have tried the recipe with and without baking it in the oven and much prefer the baked version. Baking it gives the coating a nice crunch as I find the unbaked a bit sticky. <br /><br />How close was the popcorn to your heating element in the oven? You should always bake the popcorn on the center rack. I am thinking that your popcorn might have been too close to your oven's heating element and that is why it burnt.

Heating g in the oven seemed to coat the popcorn thoroughly but also burned it a bit in the first 15 min.
