I was lucky enough to be in a recipe challenge by creating a recipe using the Golden Eagle Syrup. I tried out a few recipes, and the one that turned out the best was a cherry jello popcorn recipe. My family loves popcorn, so I thought this would be a great chance to create something different with popcorn.
Ingredients:
- 10 Cups Popcorn
- 1/2 Cup Butter
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2 TBS. Golden Eagle Syrup
- 3 oz. Cherry Gelatin
Directions: Using the popcorn seeds, pop ten cups of popcorn. Once you have that ready, put that in a large bowl. Next you’re going to want to put the butter, sugar and Golden Eagle Syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. It should be about 5-10 minutes til that gets heated up. Then you can slowly start adding in the gelatin. I usually add a one or two spoonfuls at a time. Make sure to mix that up well too.
Once it’s creamy and everything is mixed well, you can pour it right over the popcorn and mix it all up. Make sure to get all of the popcorn mixed up well.
Then you’re going to want to put some foil on a baking sheet and put the popcorn on the foil and flatten it out.
Bake that on 200 degrees for about 30 minutes. After you take it out of the oven you can put it back in a bowl and start breaking up the pieces. You may want to let it cool a bit before doing that.
That’s all there is to it. A very simple, yet delicious recipe! If you love having popcorn during movies, this can be a different way to make movie time even more fun! I’ve always loved popcorn during movies, and now I love it even more!
That looks sssooo good! I’m a huge jello fan. I love it in all kinds of desserts, and this looks like another excellent way to enjoy it.
It was really good! My girls enjoyed it too! 🙂
I have never heard of making popcorn like this. What a unique twist to add gelatin. I’m sure you could sub out different flavors to suit your family’s tastes, too. Neat!
Yep, you sure can! I can’t wait to keep trying out different flavors.
Wow this looks like a neat treat! I bet my kids would be all over this, especially for a special movie night! I will have to try this!
I thought it was perfect for movie night. A lot different then your normal popcorn.
This has got to be one of the most unique recipes ever! I would love to try it with my kids who would likely be all over it!

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it too!
What a great idea! Such a sweet summer treat. My kids would really enjoy this!

I have never had a fruit flavored popcorn before. If I was going to try it, cherry would be the way for me to go!
It’s so good! I use to eat it all the time when I was younger.
I don’t think I’ve had a cherry flavored popcorn before. I think it’s amazing and the cherry flavor is perfect for the summer too. This is definitely worth a try! Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome. I hope you have a chance to give it a try!
This Jell-o sounds so good!! I know my kids would love this for a family movie night!
Awesome! I’m glad they’d most likely like it as well. It was certainly good.
I have never made popcorn with jello added to it. How fun and I bet it is tasty! I might have to try it sometime.
You should! It turned out great!
I have never had Jello popcorn before!! This sounds so good I know my whole family would love this!

It is really good! You can try it with so many different flavors to make it the way you like.
I love candied popcorn. I bet this tastes just like it!
It does!
Wow this looks like a great treat! I bet my son, who loves popcorn would love it! I will definitely try it!
It is really good! I hope he enjoys it!
Wow, I would never have thought to try this out. It looks so fun and yum. The perfect treat for movie night.
Exactly! It’s perfect for movie night. We love it.
So fun to switch up colors and flavors! My kids love this stuff!
I agree! You can make so many different flavors with it.
I will give you an “A” for originality. I don’t think that I have ever knows anyone to put Jell-o on popcorn before. Sounds interesting, though.
It’s actually really common! You’d be surprised. It’s what gives it the flavor.
Oh wow I have never seen anything like this before! My family would love the combo!
It’s really good too! If you’ve ever had flavored popcorn then you should love this. You can always switch up the flavors to make what you like.
I would have never thought to do this to my popcorn! Yum! 🙂
It was definitely good! It’s easy to make too!
This is such a cool way to add some flavor to your popcorn. The color is really neat too! I like this idea!
Thanks! It was really good too. I love how the color turned out as well.
I have to admit that I have never seen popcorn like this Cherry Jello Popcorn before. This is indeed something I am going to have to try for sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You’re welcome. It was certainly good too. I can’t wait to try more flavors.
How cool is this? You’re so creative. I would love to try these.
Thanks! It was so good too. I can’t wait to give more flavors a try.
What?! I never knew that this is possible, I want to try this soon!
It sure is! Anything is possible when you create recipes. 🙂
Jello and popcorn are not two things I’ve ever thought about combining. It sounds interesting though and I bet my son would love it.
It’s really good though! If you have ever had flavored popcorn, then you’re going to love this!
This sounds like a fun snack that my littles would love. It looks simple enough to make so we’re going to have to try this soon.
It is very simple to make..and it tastes great too!
The output really looks familiar. We at those when we were little, I am not sure if the recipe is the same.
I think this recipe is a bit different from those. I had the flavored popcorn when I was little too and loved it!
I have never heard of anything like this before, but it looks and sounds so amazing! I’ll have to try this sometime. – HilLesha
It is amazing! I loved it. I can’t wait to try other flavors too!
Looks really delicious. This is popcorn with a twist, I want to try it for my son.
I hope you guys enjoy it. I sure did!
When I first read the title, I was really confused how someone could make something like this. But now that I know what it is I think it is really cool! My kids would love to try something like this sometime.
It does sound a bit odd, but yes it is great! You don’t actually make jello, so I can see how that got confusing at first.
What an awesome and delicious idea. We love popcorn, but we surely never thought of creating something like that. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome. I hope you all enjoy it!
YUM! This looks so fun. My girls would love this, I had no idea you could make it this way!
It was a lot of fun to make!
Perfect summertime treat! My grandkids would love this!
I agree! It’s a great treat.
This is neat. I bet the girls would love this since they love some jello. I might make this as a back to school treat for them. Thanks for sharing. – Yolonda
You’re welcome. I hope you all enjoy it!
I would have never thought of jello and popcorn. Looks pretty tasty!
It sure is! I guess it’s not really jello, it’s more like gelatin…but you get the idea.
Wow, this looks seriously delicious. I have never though to flavor my popcorn like this. My boys would love it.
It was really good! I’m excited to try more flavors too.
Okay, I have to say, I have NO idea how I feel about this. I love cherry jello … I love cherry anything. I am a HUGE fan of popcorn; like serious. But, combining the two??? MIND BLOWN. I would be willing to try it but I just don’t know, Kat … I just don’t know! LOL
It’s so good though! It’s just like eating flavored popcorn. I use to eat something similar as a kid and it’s so good.
Omg this sounds so odd… Yet delicious! I’m definitely going to be giving this a try!
Right! It’s really good though!
It sounds sooo good! My son loves popcorn, I can’t wait to make it!
Awesome. You’ll have to let me know what you think!
We do love popcorn so much as that has been a great snack ideas whenever we have movie night at home. The cherry jello version is something quiet different, but looks so delicious that I would want to try it right away!
It is really good. I loved it! I can’t wait to continue making more flavors.
I limit the sugar my oldest can get and red dye because it makes him go bananas but this is something I would let him have some of. What a great way to use cherry instead of red dye!
I limit the sugar for my girls as well. This wasn’t so bad with sugar either. I think it’s a great treat for movie time!
I never knew how people made that colored popcorn! Looks so yummy!
It is very good! I’m excited to try more flavors.
This sounds interesting! LOL I never would have thought to add jello over popcorn!
More like gelatin, but you get the idea. It’s amazing though! Very good.
Jello and popcorn, now thats news to me and sounds super fun…Wow! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. It was amazing too!
I’ve never tried this before, looks good… thanks for the directions!
You’re welcome. It was definitely good!
Wow this is a very interesting combo. I am so curious about the taste! Think I might just try it.
It’s actually really good. I loved it. I want to try with other flavors now.
