    After reading all the negative comments, I have to say LOVE it, why not have a little fun with your food once in a great while, not for everyday, but I am sure some clever person can find a way to make it healthy, me I think my kids and their friends will get a laugh this Christmas in green and red. - 11/30/13

    laughing at the comments- My mom used to make this- it IS a 60's throwback! Some family member asked me for this recipe a year ago... now I have it... not going to make it, but enjoyed the nostalgic trip to Christmas in my teens. - 11/30/13

    Love this recipe! I made it last year a long with other goodies for friends and neighbors. I do this every year and always look to add something new. This was a lot of fun to make. - 11/30/17

    A note to everyone about the corn syrup, The recipe is NOT CALLING FOR HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!! It is calling for corn syrup. There is a difference. - 12/1/15

    Can this be made with sugar-free Jello and Splenda?

    Love it! Yummy treat. I like the idea of making it a stocking stuffer too. Make some popcorn balls, wrap in saran wrap and tie with a cute string. Certainly isn't something to have often, but once in a while, you've got to have a small treat. - 12/6/13

    Sounds totally fun, but my team's colors are black and gold. Hmmm Go Saints even if I won't eat team popcorn. - 11/30/14

    This is not a healthy recipe!!!
    Butter = unhealthy dairy sat fat
    Corn syrup = Probably the worst thing you can put in your mouth! Say hello to insulin resistance, hormone disruption, systemic inflammation, Alzheimer's, etc.
    Brown Sugar - ditto HFCS
    Flavored Gelatin = ditto HFCS plus nasty chemi - 11/30/13
