Growing up, my mom made us kids jello-popcorn balls as a treat. Cherry was my favorite! Never did I realize I would use that same recipe for landscaping for a gingerbread display!
10 cups popped popcorn
1 Cup corn syrup
1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 3oz package of jello (lime works best for landscaping)
1. Make sure your popcorn is popped. Place in a very large mixing bowl.
2. Combine Karo Syrup and sugar into a pot.
3. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until boiling. Add small box of Jello (3 oz). Mix well.
4. Pour HOT mixture evenly over popcorn. Using a wooden spoon, stir mix to distribute the jello-mixture well into the popcorn.
5. Keep stirring until cool enough to handle. With WELL BUTTERED hands, form your popcorn mixture into trees or bushes.
