  1. Prepare Popcorn: Begin by popping 12 cups of popcorn using an air popcorn maker or a large pot over medium heat. Remove any unpopped kernels.
  2. Make Candy Syrup: Combine sugar, half and half (or evaporated milk), light corn syrup, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a gentle boil for 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.
  3. Add Flavor and Color: Remove syrup from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract and food coloring until desired shade is achieved.
  4. Coat Popcorn: Pour syrup over the popped popcorn and gently fold with a spatula for even coverage.
  5. Cool and Set: Spread coated popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely.
