Pink Popcorn

 

Pink Popcorn

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 tablespoons popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 drop of pink colouring
- 3-4 tablespoons icing sugar (or melted white chocolate)
- a pinch of salt to taste

METHOD:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a medium-sized pot. Then melt butter in oil.
2. Sprinkle some popcorn kernels into the pot and swirl the pot to coat them evenly in oil. Add a pinch  of salt.
3. Cover the pot with a lid and turn heat to medium. Once the kernels start popping, turn heat to low. Leave the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape. Shake the pot vigorously once or twice to allow the rest of the kernels to pop. Popping will slow down after 1 to 2 minutes. When it comes to a complete stop, transfer it to a large bowl.
4. Put icing sugar and water in the same pot and bring it to a boil. Add a small drop of pink colouring. Stir until the icing sugar is completely dissolved. The sugar mixture should now have a caramel consistency to it. (or just melted chocolate)
5. Pour the popcorn back into the pot and stir quickly until it is evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
6.Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate or icing sugar across the popcorn. Mix the popcorn    around with the spoon to evenly distribute the chocolate. Then place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Finally, serve and enjoy!

Kiddies milk and sprinkles drink

 Sprinkles and milk

This is such a great idea for kiddies parties, I think the reason I like this idea so much is because the kiddies can make it themselves and truly enjoy it.

INGREDIENTS:
- milk
- rainbow sprinkles (hundreds and thousands)
- syrup or honey (melting chocolate is also an option)


DIRECTIONS:
1.) Rim a clear glass with syrup or honey (or melted chocolate).
2.) Dip the clear glass in colored sprinkles (hundreds and thousands).
3.) Let sit for 15 minutes (in the fridge for best result).
4.) Fill with cold milk (you can also use chocolate or strawberry Nesquik).
5.) Make a toast to the birthday boy/girl, and make sure your camera batteries are fully charged!

This is very cute and simple little thing to do with a bunch kids and they will never forget the little sprinkles on top of the glass, you'll even have parents asking you after some time  - "my child keeps asking me to make milk and sprinkles, what is that?"

Enjoy.
