Just Plane Cute

Jello Popcorn.

We love the versatility of being able to make this popcorn

in any color, or even combination of colors.

For holidays, colored to match a birthday party,

or even your favorite team's colors. 

 We chose Strawberry Jello for Valentines Day.

There are oh so many ways to serve it.

 Air popper to pop your popcorn.

Or you can also use natural microwave popcorn.

Just do not use butter flavored popcorn.

 {recipe to follow}

You will only need a few ingredients to turn

plain boring air popped popcorn

into ooey gooey flavorful popcorn.

  We sprayed our cookie sheet with cooking spray,

but we think parchment paper would work so much better.

Less sticking.

 Don't you agree serving anything in a mini martini glass

is Just Plane Cute.

2/3 to 1 cup popping corn

{this will make a couple cups when popped}

1/2 C light Karo Syrup

1 C sugar

1 small box Jello

{any flavor, 3 oz}

2 Tbs butter

Sea salt, optional

Pop your popcorn and place in a large bowl.

On stove top melt Karo Syrup, sugar, Jello and butter together

in a sauce pan.  Make sure it is all dissolved and bubbly.

You want it to look smooth and shiny.

Pour over popcorn and quickly stir around

to coat the popcorn.

You may want to do in batches.

Lay on a cookie sheet either sprayed with cooking spray

or lined with parchment paper.

Bake 5 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

We highly recommend removing from your pan as soon as the 

popcorn starts to cool.  If your pan is not parchment lined,

like our's was not, you will have to scrape that pan for an eternity

to get it off.  It hardens fast and is super sticky.

This is not your peanuts and pretzels folks,

hope you make something Just Plane Yummy

like this.
