Colorful Popcorn Balls

SUBMITTED BY: Mary Kay Morris

"'These easy-to-make, fruit-flavored snacks are a big hit with our four young sons,' relates Mary Kay Morris from Cokato, Minnesota. For extra fun, chose gelatin flavors that match your child's school colors. They're sure to become best-sellers, so it's fortunate this recipe can be doubled."

Was very easy to make. At first I thought it was a little to fruity and I would probably put less jello in it next time but it seemed like the next day the flavor had mellowed a little bit. I think I at most of the batch myself before anyone had a chance. I just soaked my dished for a while and they washed easily and I sprayed my hands with pam so they didn't get sticky when I made the balls. Great recipe

These popcorn balls were very easy, and delicious. My 7 year old son said that they are his favorite treat that I have made. We tried grape jello. YUM!
