4th of July Candy Popcorn




 7-8 cups of popped corn for each color
1/2 cup butter each for the red and blue popcorn
1/4 cup corn syrup each for the red and blue popcorn
1/2 cup granulated sugar each for the red and blue popcorn
1 tsp vanilla each for the red and blue popcorn
1 small box red jello ( I used the jolly rancher cherry flavored jello)
1 small box blue jello( I used the jolly rancher blue raspberry flavored jello. I also added a little food coloring to darken the blue color)

 White chocolate chips melted (You can either cover the white popcorn in chocolate or just drizzle it over the top)

1. Seperate the popped corn into three separate bowls removing any unpopped kernels.
2. Make one color at a time. Melt the butter in a pan.Add in the corn syrup and sugar and still to dissolve.Add in the vanilla and jello and stir to dissove completly let it thicken for 2 min.



3. Remove from heat and stir into one of the popcorn bowls and mix well. When fully mixed pour onto wax paper sprayed with non stick spray and let harden. Once hardened break into chunks.


 4. Repeat process with second color.





5. For the white popcorn melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth. Mix into the white popcorn and let harden up on wax paper. (I also added some sprinkles while the white chocolate was still wet)



6. Once all the popcorn is hardened up and broken into pieces add to a bowl and enjoy.

Make one color at a time.
Melt your butter, add in the corn syrup and sugar and let it begin to thicken.  Add in the vanilla and dry jello packet and blend completely, let it thicken about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour 1/2 of your caramel mixture over the popcorn. Add the other 3 cups of Popcorn to the bowl. Add the remaining caramel and stir quickly to cover all the popcorn. Spread it out on a cookie sheet to cool. Break it apart and place in bags, cups, canning jars or just place it in a bowl for everyone to jump in and enjoy. - See more at: http://itssoverycheri.com/2012/07/09/summer-olympics-popcorn-treats/#sthash.mVZC3H6o.dpuf
You will need:
  • 6 cup of Popped Popcorn for each color (Red White and Blue)
  • 1/2 cup of Butter (each) for the Red and Blue Popcorn
  • 1/4 cup of Corn Syrup (each) for the Red and Blue Popcorn
  • 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar (each) for the Red and Blue Popcorn
(I like using white sugar for this popcorn because the brown sugar can change the color of your flavored popcorn.)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla for the Red and Blue Popcorn
  • 1 package of flavored jello – 1 box for the red (I picked Cherry) and 1 box for the Blue (I picked the Berry Blue)
OPTIONAL: You could do a drizzle of white chocolate over the plain popcorn if you wanted to do something WHITE on that popcorn.
OPTIONAL: You can add food coloring to your caramelized mixture if you want a more intense color.
Pop your popcorn and place 3 Cups (1/2 of your popcorn) in a bowl.
