2 quarts (8 cups) popped popcorn
¼ cup butter or margarine
3 tablespoons corn syrup
½ cup sugar
1 pkg. (3 ounces) gelatin dessert powder, any flavor (Jell-O)
Sugar sprinkles, optional
- Preheat oven to 250º F. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or foil; set aside. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray (to reduce sticking) and place popcorn inside; set aside.
- Heat butter, corn syrup and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to blend. When butter is melted, stir in gelatin until completely dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Immediately pour hot mixture over popcorn and stir to coat completely.
- Spread onto prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar sprinkles, if desired. Bake 12 minutes; cool in pan. Break into small pieces to serve.
To store: place in an airtight container.
