Value Colored Popcorn

This is so good, I use it all the time, and since Jello comes in all sorts of colors you can make popcorn the color of the value you are working with!

Jello Popcorn:
15 cups popped corn
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cube butter
1 large box jello (any flavor)
1 tsp baking soda

Put the popped corn in a brown paper grocery sack.
In a saucepan combine the butter, corn syrup and jello powder and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. As soon as the jello is dissolved remove from heat and add the baking soda and mix well. Pour the mixture over the popcorn in the bag and stir it around a bit. Fold over the bag and stuff into the microwave for 1 minute. Remove, shake it up a bunch and turn the bag upside down and stuff it back in the micro. Cook it for 30 seconds, remove and shake some more. Put it in the micro one more time for 1 minute, shake, and pour it out onto a cookie sheet to cool. Once it is cool break it up and enjoy!
