In the decades that it has existed (it debuted in 1897!), Jello has had a hand in so many fun treats. There’s jigglers, there’s “salads,” we’ve even made frosting with it, but I’ve never seen it paired with popcorn! Until now, that is. It turns out you can take jello and popcorn and make something akin to a very fruity and vibrant caramel corn – it’s crunchy and delicious and here’s how you make it.

This recipe uses three different colors of jello and you can use whatever colors you happen to enjoy – you can even tie it to a holiday, say, red and green for Christmas or orange and green for Halloween! (Just keep in mind that the flavors translate too, so if you’re not a fan of a particular flavor, keep that in mind.) You’ll need two to three tablespoons of each colored powder and you’ll put it into three separate bowls. (Sugar free doesn’t work here, sorry.)

On your stovetop you’ll melt together some butter, honey, and sugar and bring it to a boil and then pour that mixture into the three separate bowls. Stir with separate spoons as to not muddy your colors and then add three cups of popped popcorn to each bowl and stir quickly to coat the kernels with the sticky colored mixture.

Then, you’ll spread each color of popcorn out on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven for a half an hour. The colors don’t run too much, so you can get away with sharing a baking sheet if you need to, just keep the colors on separate ends. After it comes out of the oven and cools down, you’ll have popcorn with a sweet candy crunchy and plenty of fruity fun flavor (and color too)!
