I've been looking for this recipe for years, as I'd lost it. It finally dawned on me to go to their website. Direct from the Lorann Candy oil site! All times are approximate as I really don't remember, but I'll be making this over the weekends again.

Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the popcorn. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and prevent it from burning.
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the popcorn kernels. This will help the popcorn pop evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot with popcorn kernels. This will also prevent the popcorn from popping evenly.
- Shake the pot or Dutch oven constantly while the popcorn is popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it stops popping. This will prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Let the popcorn cool completely before coating it with candy.
- Use a variety of candy coatings to create different flavors of candy-coated popcorn. You can use melted chocolate, caramel, or even candy melts.
- Get creative with your toppings! You can add sprinkles, nuts, or even dried fruit to your candy-coated popcorn.
Conclusion:
Candy-coated popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give candy-coated popcorn a try!
