For The Love of Food Blog

I used 3 different flavors and colors of Jell-O to match the colors of the Sanderson Sisters.

Red and green turned out bright but the purple was pretty muted so next time I would add purple food coloring too.

In a medium saucepan mix together 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 pack dry Jell-O mix.

Heat and stir over low heat until mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly, about five minutes.

I popped one package of microwave popcorn for each color of Jell-O. They make about 6-8 cups each.

Like I mentioned above, if your color is not bright enough you can add food coloring. 

Add 1 bag of popcorn to a large bowl and pour Jell-O mixture over popcorn.

Stir gently to coat.

Spread out onto a lined and greased baking sheet.

Bake at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from oven and let cool.

Then break apart into pieces.

Repeat with the remaining 2 bags of popcorn, 2 cans of condensed milk, and 2 boxes of Jell-O mix.
