Jell-O Popcorn Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup light corn syrup
1 (3 ounce) package jello gelatin powder, sugar-free, any flavor
11 cups popped popcorn
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preparation

Place popped popcorn in a large bowl, lightly buttered.
Bring the corn syrup and jello mix to a boil in a saucepan.
Boil over medium heat until mixture separates into a hard thread when dropped into very cold water, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour over popcorn, mixing quickly to coat well. Let stand for about 3 to 5 minutes and with your hands buttered, shape into 1-1/2 inch balls.
NOTE: these balls can also be made using Kool-Aid unsweetened drink in any flavor instead of the Jell-O, and it is the same procedure.
