Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 250-265°F (121-129°C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into a glass of cold water forms a firm, but still slightly pliable, ball (the 'firm ball' stage). (10-15 minutes)

Recipe View Store the Gelatin-Flavored Popcorn in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain its crispness. It will stay fresh for up to a week.

For best results, use freshly popped popcorn. Avoid using popcorn with a lot of unpopped kernels.
Experiment with different flavors of gelatin to create unique popcorn variations. Try using strawberry, lime, orange, or even grape!
Be careful when working with hot sugar syrup. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the syrup reaches the correct temperature.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check the syrup's consistency.
To prevent the popcorn from sticking to the pan, be sure to grease it well before adding the popcorn.
