jello popcorn balls.

for joyce (and anyone else interested). from allrecipes.com:

JELL-O Popcorn Balls

Ingredients:

12 cups popped popcorn

1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup sugar

1 pkg. (4 serving size) JELL-O Brand

Gelatin, any flavor

1 1/2 cups PLANTERS COCKTAIL

Peanuts, coarsely chopped

Directions:

1.	Place popcorn in large bowl.
2.	Mix syrup and sugar in saucepan; bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add gelatin; stir until dissolved. Add peanuts.
3.	Pour over popcorn; mix well. Cool about 5 minutes. Shape into 18 balls, each about 3 inches in diameter.

note– i used two flavors of jello, strawberry and lime, and omitted the nuts. i’d also recommend eating these immediately after forming them in to balls since they don’t keep too long before they go stale (i learned this the hard way!). enjoy! 🙂
