I love to make this slightly sweet snack because there's really nothing like it. The dehydrated strawberries processed with sugar make a pretty-in-pink coating that would be perfect for wedding or baby showers. —Eden Dranger, Los Angeles, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray

Directions

  1. Place strawberries and sugar in a food processor; cover and process until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl, add salt; set aside.
  2. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook popcorn kernels and oil until oil begins to sizzle. Cover and shake for 2-3 minutes or until popcorn stops popping.
  3. Transfer to a large bowl; spritz with butter-flavored spray. Add strawberry mixture and toss to coat. Continue spritzing and tossing until popcorn is coated.
