The Best Rainbow Sprinkles Popcorn

Easter is such a fun time of the year. Many memories are created around the holidays, but Easter Sunday is no exception. And for this day we made the best rainbow sprinkles popcorn you’ve ever had. Plus, it’s super easy to make too.

One of my favorite things to do is create a dessert we all enjoy with some sort of twist. Sometimes I make a smaller version of a large cake or cheesecake or a combination of flavors to create something new and exciting.

When I was a kid we made homemade popcorn. We, means me. At that time we didn’t own a microwave, so the popcorn was made on the stove. I still, from time to time, make popcorn on a large pot on the stove top. 

This recipe is with popcorn made the old school way. You can still use a microwave if you wish, but I encourage you to try it at least once on the stove top and find out for yourself how easy it is.
