Jello Popcorn
This is very reminiscent of traditional caramel corn - but more fun with all of the colors and flavors! You don't even need a candy thermometer for this recipe! It's so easy!
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 8 cups popcorn popped
- 4 tablespoons butter 1/2 stick
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 package your favorite Jello flavor (I used Cherry and Lime) 3 oz.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Line a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with waxed paper. Place the popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, cook the butter and corn syrup until the butter is melted. Add the sugar and Jello. Stir until the Jello is completely dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Immediately pour the Jello mixture over the popcorn; toss to coat well. Spread into the prepared pan and use 2 forks to spread the mixture out as evenly as you can.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool.
- Remove from the pan and break into small pieces.
Notes
- Make sure and let cool completely before "breaking" apart or it will be too messy.
