Koolaid Popcorn Recipe
Healthy Popcorn Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup butter
2 packages Koolaid (flavor of choice)
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 quarts popped popcorn
Directions
Boil the sugar, syrup and margarine together for three minutes. Stir in soda and Koolaid. Pour over 6-quarts of popcorn.
Bake at 225-degrees for 45 minutes, stirring every ten minutes. Remove from the oven and break up immediately.
Note: If you want to make wreaths or trees etc., form them immediately after adding the syrup. If you're reasonably quick you can get jelly beans, dragees and other candy decorations to stick to it before it sets.
Kool Aid Trivia Fun Fact
Marvin Potts: drink mix. In 1954, Mr. Potts got stuck with the daunting task of creating a new pitchman for General Mills' new drink. Inspired by his son drawing smiley faces on a window on a chilly Chicago day, he decided to put a smiley face on a pitcher of this new beverage, known as Kool-Aid. This was the beginning of Pitcherman, who later became Kool-Aid Man in 1975, after Kraft Foods (who had recently bought General Mills) slapped some appendages on him.
