I thought these would be fun for Easter. We are going to make various color easter eggs for Jacksons classmates. This is such a simple recipe. Very sticky, but easy! 10 cups of popcorn (I buy huge bags of kernels and pop them in the microwave in a paper bag)
1 cup of light corn syrup
3/4 cup of white sugar
1 box of jello (any flavor you want)
Pop the popcorn and set aside. I try to get all the unpopped kernels out so that the kids don't bit into the popcorn balls and hurt their teeth. Melt together in a pan the corn syrup, white sugar and jello. Keep stiring until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over the popcorn. Mix it up quickly to cover all the popcorn. Wet your hands with cool water and start to form the popcorn into balls. You want your hands damp but not "wet". Get a little damp inbetween making each ball. I put the balls on wax paper until they firmed up a bit. I thought these were very sweet but Jackson loved them!
