Equipment
- Popcorn maker or pot
- Large pot
Ingredients
- 24 cups Popped popcorn divided
- ¾ cup Butter divided
- ¾ cup Light corn syrup divided
- 2 ¼ cups Granulated sugar divided
- 1 package Orange Jello
- 1 package Lime Jello
- 1 package Grape Jello
- Orange green, and purple food coloring, optional
- Confectionery Eyeballs optional
Instructions
- Measure 8 cups of popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, set aside.
- Measure ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup corn syrup together in a heavy bottomed, medium pan. Add ¾ cup Granulated sugar and the pack of orange Jello, stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn down to low and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- If you’d like a more intense color, mix in a bit of food coloring at this point - I did.
- Carefully pour Jello mixture over the measured popcorn – mixture is HOT NASTY LAVA, so it’ll burn you if you’re not careful. Mix well.
- Spread popcorn out on a parchment lined cookie sheet, and allow to cool.
- Break popcorn up into pieces, placing into a LARGE pot.
- Repeat twice: Once with lime Jello, then with grape Jello.
- Mix well to combine.
- If you’re not using the popcorn right away, store it in an airtight container ASAP, or package into baggies.
- Note: For crunchier popcorn, bake each batch for 10 minutes at 350F, after being spread out on the baking sheet.
- Personally, I like the slight gooeyness it keeps without being baked!
