  • 6 quarts popped popcorn
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ⅔ cup butter
  • 2 (.13 ounce) envelopes unsweetened soft drink mix, any flavor (such as KOOL-AID®)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet. Place popped popcorn in a large bowl.
  • Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
  • Combine drink mix and baking soda in a large bowl; pour sugar mixture into drink mixture, stirring carefully. Sugar mixture will bubble. Pour mixture over popcorn; toss to evenly coat. Transfer coated popcorn to baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 10 minutes, until coating has hardened, about 30 minutes. Cool and break popcorn into pieces.
