INGREDIENTS

    • 8 cups popped popcorn
    • 1/4 cup butter
    • 1 3-ounce package JELL-O gelatin

    • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, optional

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat your oven to 300ºF.

    2. Line a 15x10x1-inch sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Cover the pan with the popcorn.

    3. Heat the JELL-O gelatin, sugar, and butter in a small sauce pan, stirring until the butter has melted and ingredients have dissolved.

    4. Remove from heat and pour over the popcorn, stirring with a spatula to distribute. Bake 10 minutes.

    5. Let cool, then mix with additional ingredients as desired and enjoy!

    Notes

    Once the popcorn is finished, toss with your child's favorite goodies, like chocolate chips, minimarshmallows, peanuts, or even raisins for a really special treat. To create different colors of popcorn, divide the recipe between various colors of JELL-O gelatin. Or make several large batches and save leftovers for colorful afternoon snacks later in the week.
