Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet. Place popped popcorn in a large greased bowl.

  2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.

  3. Combine Kool-aid and baking soda in a small bowl; pour over sugar mixture, stirring carefully. Sugar mixture will bubble.
