Kernels style popcorn

Now I know you're thinking but it's already gluten free .. Yes it is but I feel the price tag is also kinda high for sugared popcorn.  So I found and tested out a recipe and it worked!!! 

Now I LOVE the super kid (blue[cotton candy], red[strawberry], yellow[banana]) flavoured popcorn but I only had strawberry & lime, so I opted to do just strawberry. 

I found this recipe on about.com (http://candy.about.com/od/sugarcandy/r/Fruity-Popcorn.htm) and slightly modified it. 

If you don't have an air popper you can do it on the stove (http://www.simplyrecipes.com/m/recipes/perfect_popcorn/), I have an air popper (I CRAVED popcorn 24/7 when I was pregnant, I had to eat it 2-3 times a day, even got a second popper for at work).  

So here what you need 

10 cups of popped popcorn 

1/4 cup of butter or margerine

1/4 cup of corn syrup

1 cup of sugar

1 package of flavoured jello

Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil and either spray with cooking spray or grease heavily with margerine.  Set aside. Set your oven to 300.

In a sauce pain melt the butter with the corn syrup on a low-medium setting until all the butter has melted then add the sugar & jello. I added mine in a bit at a time so it was well blended. It will get thick.  Bring to a boil then simmer for 4 mins (if you don't stirr every 20-30 seconds it's going to burn on the bottom of the pan).  Take off the heat and mix well with the popped popcorn then transfer I onto a baking sheet.  Yes it will be sticky and no not all of it will go down that's ok it will be good.  At 5 mins and 10 mins turn the popcorn around on the sheet. Remove at the 15 min mark and let cool. Once cooled you can peel the aluminum foil away and break up the popcorn with your hands.  

And enjoy for a fraction of the cost at kernels.
