Cover a large sheet pan with foil. Spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Spray a large bowl with nonstick vegetable spray. Air pop the kernels into the prepared bowl. Set aside.
In a small 3 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, margarine and hibiscus powder. Cook over medium/low heat until the margarine and sugar are melted, stirring constantly with a heat resistant spatula. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
