I made this for the launch event at GameStop for MarioKart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. It was a huge success, along side it's polar opposite companion, my cookies & cream popcorn (you can find that recipe in my recipes also 😉) Be warned, this will make a CRAP-LOAD!!! (I filled half of a 13 gallon trash bag, at only one batch per flavor!!! 😮)

Steps

1

Pop one batch of kernels at a time (saves counter space, since this will make a HUGE batch collectively, or you can just choose a flavor you're craving and make just the one flavor)
2

After popping a batch of kernels, melt approx 2/3c. CandyMelts (according to their package directions) to match your flavor. If you are mixing primary colors (red/yellow/blue,) do 1/3c. of each of the 2 colors you're mixing, but you can melt them in the same container. Why make more dishes than necessary, right? Lol
3

Stir melted candymelts till smooth then pour over the popcorn and gently fold it in to coat well and as evenly as possible. This may take a few minutes, but the color pay off is worth it, I promise!
4

Little by little, sprinkle the coordinating jello flavor (in its powdery form, don't cook it! Lol) onto the candy-coated popcorn while its still melty, this will allow the powder to adhere to the popcorn, gently folding it in. I found about 1/2 package was perfect. ***And I learned the hard way, don't try to cheat by mixing it into the melted CandyMelts, it will make the candy far more difficult to distribute onto the popcorn. #EpicFail.....don't try it, trust me lol***
5

(I also discovered, since sugar free Jell-o packages are a lot smaller, it will take the whole package)
6

Once flavored to desired strength, spread out on a parchment paper or wax paper lined baking sheet, and chill in the fridge until the CandyMelts are set (about 10 minutes)
7

Break apart if necessary into small pieces. If you're going for the full rainbow or even only a couple colors/flavors, dump it into a fresh, and unused (of course...) 13 gallon trash bag (and set it aside, and continue the previous steps for each color/flavor.
8

When doing the whole rainbow or just a couple flavors, after they're all in the bag, leave a big pocket of air in the bag, twist it closed tightly to keep that air in, and gently press upward with one hand and/or roll the bag on the counter to mix all the flavors evenly together for that pretty, colorful, and very flavorful appearance!!! If you're not doing the whole kit & kaboodle, just break your small pieces straight into your serving bowl and enjoy!!!***
