1 (3 oz.) pkg. lime gelatin
1/2 c. sugar
9 c. popped popcorn
1 c. light corn syrup

Ask mom to combine gelatin (dry from the box), sugar and corn syrup in saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the crystals dissolve. Immediately pour over popped popcorn. Allow mixture to cool.

Then butter your hands and form the popcorn into balls. After you're done, wrap the balls in plastic wrap.
