Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['vegetarian'], recipe: place popped popcorn in a large bowl, lightly buttered. bring the corn syrup and jello mix to a boil in a saucepan. boil over medium heat until mixture separates into a hard thread when dropped into very cold water, about 6 to 7 minutes. remove from heat and pour over popcorn, mixing quickly to coat well. let stand for about 3 to 5 minutes and with your hands buttered, shape into 1-1/2 inch balls. note: these balls can also be made using kool-aid unsweetened drink in any flavor instead of the jell-o, and it is the same procedure.

Target recipe: in a medium saucepan, mix all ingredients except the vanilla. cook until mixture reaches 270 degrees, or brittle ball. (approx. 10-15 min over medium high heat) take off heat and stir in vanilla. pour over the popcorn, and stir lightly and quickly to coat. shape quickly with butter coated hands (important - the butter keeps the syrup from sticking to and burning your hands). note: if desired, food coloring can be added before cooking.
