Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups Popped Popcorn
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Karo Corn Syrup
  • 3 oz Jello package flavor of your choice *

Method
 

  1. Prepare a large bowl of freshly popped popcorn, roughly about 8 cups. Remove any unpopped kernels.
  2. In a sauce pan combine the ingredients. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely melted and the ingredients are combined.
  3. Carefully pour the hot mixture over the popcorn. Stir gently with large spoon or spatula until the popcorn is evenly coated. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it is safe to handle.
  4. Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. Then shape the coated popcorn into balls.
  5. Place the popcorn balls on wax paper and let them cool completely before serving.

Notes

* For those seeking to avoid food dyes, you can use alternative Jello brands such as "Simple Mixes" that are free of artificial dyes
