Pink Strawberry Popcorn

Pink Strawberry Popcorn

1 TBSP shortening, Crisco
1 packet (.14oz) strawberry-flavored drink mix, kool-aid
1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate chips, nestle
2 drops red food coloring, gel or paste
2 bags (3oz each) microwave popcorn, popped, orville Redenbacher’s tender white
3 TBSP pink sanding sugar

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shortening and drink mix. Melt in microwave on High heat for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Add white chocolate chips. Return to microwave and melt chips on low heat for 2 minute, stirring every 30 seconds. (If using food coloring, stir into melted chocolate at this point.)

In a large bowl, slowly pour melted white chocolate mixture over popped popcorn, tossing with wooden spoon. Sprinkle sanding sugar over the top and toss to coat.
