1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 cup popping corn

1 cup caster sugar

Red, blue and yellow food colourings

Step 1

Line 3 large baking trays with baking paper. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of corn. Oil is hot enough when corn turns slowly in a circle. Add remaining corn. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Shake saucepan gently when corn starts popping. Remove from heat when corn stops popping. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Discard any un-popped corn.

Step 2

Place 1/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cold water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 8 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil. Boil, without stirring, for 5 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Add 3 to 4 drops of red food coloring. Add one-third of the popcorn to pan. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until popcorn is coated in sugar and crystallized. Spread popcorn onto 1 prepared tray. Stir to separate. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 3

Repeat process with remaining popcorn, sugar, cold water and blue and yellow food coloring's.

Step 4

Place popcorn in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Serve.

Or you could go the Heathier option by sprinkling some Beetroot powder (dehydrated & ground up !) on. Totally delish !

or just add food coloring to the oil. obviously you'll have to use clean oil for each color.
