Candied Popcorn Balls

Because it's close to Halloween I thought you all might enjoy a trip down memory lane!  Remember when we could actually accept these from kind neighbors who worked so hard to make our trick or treating special?

16 cups popped popcorn 
1 package (15 ounces) candy corn 
1/2 cup sugar 
1 package (4-serving size) orange-flavored gelatin 
1 cup light corn syrup

1. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add the popcorn and candy corn; mix well and set aside.
    
2. In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar and gelatin mix in the corn syrup over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to the popcorn mixture; mix well.
    
3. Quickly form into 2-inch balls, packing well. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Allow to harden, then serve, or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.  Enjoy!

** You can use any flavor of gelatin for this!  Red at Christmas, green for St. Patrick's Day, yellow just because.......you get the idea!
