Hey sistas!
It is getting hot in Vegas! Today was about 97 degrees. That means that we are getting closer and closer to Memorial Day and Fourth of July parties. Today I am bringing you a fun snack that you can bring to those parties – red, white, and blue jello popcorn!
We absolutely love summer time. Growing up, our dad would have fun BBQ’s all of the time! Who doesn’t love getting together with friends and family, eating, swimming, and celebrating a patriotic holiday??
I wanted to share this recipe because it is super easy to make, and kids will love it! You can share this treat in a big bowl, or you can buy cute bags and give the popcorn as gifts. Hope you enjoy this fun spin on colored popcorn!
- 12 cups popped popcorn
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 small box jello (red)
- 1 small box jello (blue)
- Pop your popcorn. In two mixing bowls, add 4 cups popped popcorn each
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
- In a sauce pan, mix corn syrup, sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir
- Pour half of the mix into a different sauce pan
- In one sauce pan, stir in 1/4 cup red jello mix
- In the other sauce pan, stir in 1/4 cup blue jello mix
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes
- In first mixing bowl, pour the red mixture over the popcorn and stir until all popcorn pieces are coated
- In second mixing bowl, pour the blue mixture over the popcorn and stir until all popcorn pieces are coated
- Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick spray
- Dump blue popcorn on one side of baking sheet. Dump red popcorn on other side of baking sheet
- Bake for 10 minutes
- Let cool
- Break up the popcorn pieces and pour into one big sharing bowl.
- Add in regular (white) popcorn
Sincerely,
tami jean
