Jell-O Popcorn




This is a yummy treat that is super easy and so fun to make! The delicious popcorn is flavored with your favorite Jell-O and only calls for 5 ingredients. Flavors we love: lime, raspberry, cherry, orange, blue raspberry, strawberry; and I want to try watermelon and peach.
Ingredients:
  • cup Popcorn kernels (pop in an air-popper or microwave popper) “mushroom” kernels are preferred if you have some! 
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1 Box Jell-O 3 oz box - any flavor of your choice

Instructions:


Pop the popcorn and remove all the unpopped kernels. 

Place the popcorn in a large bowl.  

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.


In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.  Then whisk in the sugar and light corn syrup. Then stir in the jello mix.

Bring the mixture to a low boil and boil for 4-5 minutes.  Pour the mixture over the popcorn and gently toss the popcorn to coat it with the mixture.

Divide the popcorn evenly between 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

Bake for about 30 minutes, gently mixing the popcorn every 7-8 minutes and switching the position of the baking sheets each time you gently mix the popcorn (like when you bake granola...).



Allow the popcorn to cool on the baking sheet.  

Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy!


Notes:


You can store the leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container or bag for up to 1 week.
