Starbrust Jell-O Popcorn

Microwave Jell-O and Air Popped Popcorn Recipe:

Ingredients:

*12 cups of Air Popped Popcorn and put in large bowl

Jell-O Coating

In a medium glass bowl add the following to make the Jell-O Coating:

*1  (3) ounce box Jell-O or 1/2 of large box, flavor of your choice, I used Starburst Flavored
*1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
*1 cube of butter (1/2 cup), melted

Place the glass bowl of Jell-O Coating ingredients in the microwave. Microwave for one minute take out and stir. Repeat this in 30 second increments until it is very bubbly. If you want a dryer popcorn coating microwave 1 to 2 more increments of 30 seconds, just be careful not to burn the Jell-O Coating. Every microwave is different so adjust time accordingly.

*Add 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda to the hot bubbling Jell-O Coating this will make it light and foamy, now add to the warm popcorn.

Instructions:

Place Air Popped Pop Corn in greased large glass bowl.

Tip: Now take the Jell-O Coating, stirring it in 1/3 of it at a time onto the popcorn, trying not to have big globs in one spot, mixing with a wood spoon until all popcorn is coated.

Put Coated hot Jell-O popcorn on cookie sheet with Parchment Paper or Silpat baking sheet liner to cool and dry. (If you still want the coated popcorn to be even crunchier, bake in pre-heated oven at 225*F. for 10-20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, being careful not to burn Jell-O coating.)
