Green Popcorn Treat

This is something easy to do with kids. It is a sweet snack that can be made in any color/flavor - Cherry for valentines day, orange for Halloween, etc.

Ingredients:

12 cups unseasoned or very lightly salted popped popcorn (1 cup
unpopped kernels equals 8 cups air-popped corn)
1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 (3 oz) package lime-flavored gelatin or other flavored gelatin

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line large shallow roasting pan with foil, extending over pan edges. Butter foil. Remove any unpopped kernels from popcorn. Pour popcorn into prepared pan. Keep warm in oven.

2. In medium saucepan, combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and gelatin. Heat and stir over medium heat until mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly, 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Pour mixture over popcorn, stir gently to coat. Bake 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Carefully turn out onto large piece of lightly buttered foil. Cool. Break into pieces.
