*1 package 7.5 ounce Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels, like Flipz
*Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers, melt 1/2 cup of wafers at a time
*Piping Bag with Tip or Decorating Drip Bottle, like Wilton’s
*Wilton Candy Eyes, found at Walmart
Instruction:
Melt white wafers in a microwave safe bowl according to directions on package or in 30 second increments in the microwave in a microwaveable bowl, stirring between each increment until melted.
Place melted chocolate in piping bag or drip bottle and zigzag across each chocolate pretzel. Add Eyes.
*12 cups of Air Popped Popcorn and put in large bowl
In a medium glass bowl add the following to make the Jell-O Coating:
*1 (3) ounce box Peach Jell-O or 1/2 of large box
*1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
*1 cube of butter (1/2 cup), melted
Instructions:
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.
Place Air Popped Pop Corn in greased large glass bowl.
Note: If you have trouble mixing coating over the popcorn, microwave popcorn with Jell-O coating for about 30 seconds this will help in stirring in the Jell-O Coating. (I didn’t need to do this step.)
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.)
