Candied Popcorn - Grandma's Faves

Candied Popcorn

Crunchy. Addicting. Delicious Candied Popcorn! 

This recipe uses honey and dry jell-o mix. It’s really quite easy and doesn’t last long around our house. What I made had a sweet and spicy factor because I just so happened to use Jalapeño Popcorn and strawberry jell-o. :P.

I really don’t think Candied Popcorn is the proper name for this dish though. I think Crack Popcorn is more fitting.
