Rainbow Popcorn

I've made a couple different flavors and like cherry the best. It is one of those things that some adults love and some adults think is horrible. Kids think it is cool. Bright and cheery. Works great if you mix the colors (after it is prepared) to have team or school colors or appropriate colors for a holiday.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 8  cups  popped popcorn
• 1  cup peanuts
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 3  tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1⁄2 cup  firmly packed light brown sugar or 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (3 1/2ounce) package Jello gelatin, any flavor

Directions

1. Heat oven to 300°F Line a 15x10x1-inch pan with foil or wax paper. Place popcorn and nuts in large bowl.
2. Heat butter and syrup in small saucepan on low heat. Stir in sugar and gelatin. Bring to boil on medium heat. Reduce heat to low; gently simmer 5 minutes.
3. Pour syrup immediately over popcorn, tossing to coat well. Spread popcorn in prepared pan, using two forks to spread evenly. Bake 10 minutes. (Several reviewers recommend stirring it and then baking 5 more minutes.) Cool.
4. Remove from pan and break into small pieces.
