Directions:

1. In a large microwave safe glass bowl, melt butter for 30-40 seconds until melted.

2. Add oil, corn syrup, food coloring, and salt. Mix well.

3. Add unpopped kernels and stir well, making sure each kernel is coated well.

4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, allowing venting. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
