Jell-O Candied Popcorn Balls

I first savored this fun little dessert at a church bazaar as a little girl living in Rexburg, Idaho. I fell instantly in love with it! This popcorn has eye catching color, but its glory lies in the fusion of fruity and buttery flavors. This popcorn lasted like two seconds on our Family Movie Night.

10 cups popcorn, popped
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 (3oz.) package fruit flavored Jell-O gelatin
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. Cook until mixture comes to a full boil. Stir in baking soda. Immediately pour gelatin mixture over popped corn in large bowl. Stir until popcorn is coated.
