Interesting Fruity Popcorn Balls
"These are such a change from the everyday popcorn balls. This recipe came from the Jello website and my daughter and I made them for her class at Christmas. They are super yummy and the kids get a kick out of the different flavors and vibrant colors. I left out the nuts and they turned out great. They are nice and soft to chew, not like some popcorn balls that can be hard to bite into. These were a hit in our house, I hope you like them also!"

They didn't firm up at all. They were soupy. I tried twice so I'm quite sure I followed the recipe. Maybe I used to wrong type of corn syrup?? -
I LOVE THESE!!! I made these without the nuts, since I cant have them, and I cut the batch in half, and they were so good! Thanks!
