Cherry Love Popcorn
This Cherry Love Popcorn is the first Valentine’s Day post of the year. This colorful cherry-flavored popcorn is a breeze to make. Bring this to a Valentine’s Day party. It will be one of the most fun things on the table. If you are staying home solo or cozying up in front of the TV with someone special, this is a perfect snack solution.

There is no formal recipe for this snack. It’s that easy. Pop about 1/3 cup of popcorn (in oil). Then spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Melt cherry-flavored chips and some additional pink candy melts for color.

Then drizzle the two over the popcorn.

Gather up Valentine’s Day sugar decorations. For example, red and pink non-pareils, hearts, lips, and XOs.
Valentine's quins
Immediately sprinkle them over the popcorn. After it dries, break it up into pieces. Then transfer the finished Cherry Love Popcorn to a bowl and serve.

A crunchy, sugary, cherry pink and red Valentine’s Day snack. Furthermore, this idea is flexible. Adapt this recipe for any holiday or occasion. Use sports team colors for viewing parties or school events. Red and green for Christmas. Blue and gold for Hannukah. Pastels for Easter. Red and blue for July 4th, Memorial, or Labor Day.  So many possible combinations.

Adorable. I just read about a popcorn 'grits' made with popped popcorn, wet and pushed through a sieve with tons of butter… sounded so weird it had to be good (it was also from a great chef so…) Yours is adorable.

Ooooh candied popcorn. Must make.

Oh my goodness, the twinkie croutons really got me. I love coming up with ways to frighten dinner guests.
