Start by placing your popped popcorn into a large bowl. Remove any unpopped kernels.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, light corn syrup, water, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring constantly.

Once the sugar dissolves, stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it reaches 230°F.

Carefully remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and a few drops of pink food coloring.

Pour the warm mixture over the popcorn, gently stirring to coat every kernel.

Spread the coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool for a few minutes.

Once set, break the popcorn into clusters for serving.
