Have you heard of popcorn flavored with Kool-Aid ? I didn't until wondering around pinterest of course and LOVE IT!!! IF you can find it ... Get the Wylers ROOT BEER and use that flavor... just like root beer barrels only better! It's Excellent
Better than the popcorn choices using the chocolate coatings. This one is also great for birthday parties if you have a theme color. Afterall You have 91 KoolAid flavors to choose from :)  Ingredients
Note: You will need to pop 1/3 cup popcorn kernels in order to get the 3 qt. popped corn needed to prepare this delicious recipe. Or, you can pop 2 (3.5-oz.) bags of microwave unbuttered popcorn instead.
Preparation
1 - Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet. Place popped popcorn in a large bowl.
2 - Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
3 - Combine drink mix and baking soda in a large bowl; pour sugar mixture into drink mixture, stirring carefully. Sugar mixture will bubble so BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET BURNED.
4 - Pour mixture over popcorn; toss to evenly coat. Transfer coated popcorn to baking sheet.
5 - Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 10 minutes, until coating has hardened, about 30 minutes.
-> This will dry the coating and make the popcorn crispy. -> For chewier popcorn, only bake for a few minutes to help dry the coating. 6 - Cool and break popcorn into pieces. Enjoy!
* Instead of Kool-Aid, you could substitute flavored oils and food coloring, making any kind of combination imaginable. Be sure to check out "Jamie Cooks It Up" links above for more colorful popcorn variations and LOTSA LINKS .
