National Popcorn Day.

T'was Human Rights Day, indeed. We were glad to spend the day together as a family...eating popcorn! Didn't you know that today is National Popcorn Day?! There's so many possibilities when it comes to popcorn. But today, we choose to celebrate this grand day with a popped corn Family Home Evening Treat. Now baby...let that corn pop some snow into our forecast TONIGHT!!

Rainbow Popcorn

2 quarts (8 cups) popped popcorn
¼ cup butter or margarine
3 tablespoons corn syrup
½ cup sugar
1 pkg. (3 ounces) gelatin dessert powder, any flavor (Jell-O)
Sugar sprinkles, optional

• Preheat oven to 250º F. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or foil; set aside. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray (to reduce sticking) and place popcorn inside; set aside.
• Heat butter, corn syrup and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to blend. When butter is melted, stir in gelatin until completely dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Immediately pour hot mixture over popcorn and stir to coat completely.
• Spread onto prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar sprinkles, if desired. Bake 12 minutes; cool in pan. Break into small pieces to serve.

To store: place in an airtight container. Yield: 8 cups
