Jello Popcorn

I've made this for a few Christmas's.  It is fun to eat, but hard to make in large batches.  Don't even try rainbow like I did one year for Carter's class because you'll end up calling your sister saying, "lsdgaosnuvawehf8#Q(#*(" like I did because it takes forever although it is cute.

In double bagged brown paper shopping bag, place 18 cups of popped popcorn (plain from popper)

Combine in saucepan:

1 c sugar
1/2 c light corn syrup
1 cube margarine (microwave first)
1 3 oz pkg of jello

Have ready 1/2 tsp baking soda.

Cook saucepan mixture for 2 minutes after it comes to a bubbling boil.  Stir in baking soda.  It will foam up Dump foamy sauce into double brown bagged popcorn and roll till closed tight.  Stick whole bag in microwave and cook for 45 seconds.  Take out and shake.  Put in upside down and microwave 45 seconds.  Take out and shake.  Back in on opposite side and cook 30 seconds.  Shake and switch sides for another 30 seconds.  Dump and spread with spoon on 2 cookie sheets.  When cooled, break up into pieces and bag for gifts or eating.

HINT:  I've tried many jello flavors with it but the best are strawberry or raspberry for a red popcorn and lime for a green.  Mix in a bag for a nice christmas gift.  Don't use grape jello!  It ends up looking brown and gross.
