Jello Popcorn

I hadn't had this popcorn in so long, I had forgotten all about it! My friend Chanda made some for the 4th of July.  She made red, white, and blue, layered them in a bag, and tied it with a festive ribbon. It was so cute! I stole her idea and made some as a birthday party favor. I made berry blue, lemon, and lime. It's not hard to make and is a really fun treat!
