"Fruit of the Spirit" Popcorn

I made fruity candied popcorn for a fundraiser using the recipe from a previous post and this time since it was for church, I added a bible verse about the Fruits of the Spirit. Get it?

Strawberry, Green Apple and Grape popcorn
These aren't the easiest to make in large quantities but they are fun to make and the kids enjoy the myriad of flavors.  Since the recipe uses Jello as the base, the possibilities are endless...well not quite endless but as numerous as there are Jello flavors. This time I used Strawberry, Green Apple and Grape.  I would have like the Green Apple popcorn to be a brighter green but it still tasted apple-y. 

Recipe: 
8 cups popped popcorn
1/4 cup butter
3 T light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3.5oz box flavored Jello gelatin (not the sugar free kind)

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place popcorn in an extra large mixing bowl.
3. Melt butter and corn syrup in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add sugar and gelatin and stir to combine.
4. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Immediately pour syrup over popcorn. Mix quickly and stir to coat. Spread mixture onto prepared pan and spread out evenly.
6. Bake for about 10 minutes until candy coating is crisp.
