Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 (3 ounce) package fruit flavored Jell-O® mix
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• ¾ cup sugar
• 10 cups popped popcorn

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 1/4 sheet pan or two 8x12 inch baking dishes. Generously butter a heavy 2 quart saucepan.

Step 2

Distribute popcorn evenly in prepared baking pans. Place in oven to keep warm.

Step 3

In prepared saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, gelatin, corn syrup and water. Heat to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.

Step 4

Pour mixture evenly over popcorn and stir until coated. Return popcorn to oven and bake 5 minutes; stir, then bake 5 minutes more.

Step 5

Turn popcorn out onto a large piece of foil. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then form into balls. Or let cool completely and break into clusters. Store in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place.
