8 C popped popcorn
1 C salted peanuts or cashews
1/4 C butter or margarine
3 T light corn syrup
1/2 C packed light brown sugar or granulated sugar
1 package (4-serving size) JELL-O Brand Gelatin, any flavor
HEAT oven to 300. Line 15×10x1-inch pan with foil or waxed paper. Place popcorn and nuts in large bowl.
HEAT butter and syrup in small saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar and gelatin; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 5 minutes. Immediately pour syrup over popcorn, tossing to coat well.
SPREAD popcorn in prepared pan, using two forks to spread evenly. Bake 10 minutes. Cool. Remove from pan and break into small pieces.
Tips:
Glazed popcorn tastes best the day it's made, but it can be stored for several days in an airtight container, preferably in a cool, dry place.
JELL-O adds flavor and color to a simple snack mix. Try varying the colors when you're preparing holiday treats, using orange for Halloween and red and green for Christmas.
