Jello Popcorn

I made my first batch of JELLO POPCORN today.
My mom has made it for years.
We are going to be making a lot of it in the next few months
for my brother's lawn service customers.
He has quite a few of them...LOL
My brother Bear's popcorn bowl...

I used WATERMELON JELLO.
It didn't turn out as red as I wanted,
but it tastes great!
