Pop your plain popcorn using an air-popper or on the stovetop. Aim for about 8 cups of popcorn for a perfect treat that everyone will enjoy.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy coating according to package instructions. Stir often until it’s smooth and silky — this usually takes about 1-2 minutes.

Pour the melted coating over the warm popcorn, working quickly to ensure each piece gets beautifully covered. Use a spatula or your hands to gently mix until all kernels are coated.

For an extra burst of flavor, add raspberry extract during the mixing phase. Just a drop or two will enhance the delightful taste.

Spread the coated popcorn out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

Once the pink popcorn is set and cool, transfer it to decorative bowls or individual bags. Perfect for sharing or enjoying by yourself!
