Candy Popcorn Recipe

I've had a few requests for this recipe, so I thought I would share with you all:
(It's pretty easy & kids love it)

Gelatin-Flavored Popcorn

10 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup butter
1/2- 3/4 cup sugar
1 (3-ounce) pkg fruit flavored gelatin mix (not sugar-free)
1 tablespoon light Karo syrup
3 tablespoons water

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
2. Place a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add butter, sugar, gelatin, Karo syrup & water and combine together. Heat until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball - or 250-265 degrees.
3. Pour syrup into popcorn in a large greased bowl, stir until coated.
4. Pour popcorn evenly on cookie sheet & bake 5 minutes; stir. Bake 5 more minutes. Let cool completely.
It's fun to make a few batches with different flavors and mix them together...
