Jello popcorn

This recipe will be loved by my zombie loving family.  I am 100% sure that there will be comments about zombie popcorn.  For normal families this will just be jello popcorn.  You can use any flavor jello.  I just happened to have red Cherry jello left over from our Canada Day recipes last week.  From all the internet research I did, some flavors have much better colors of popcorn than others.  The lime green was not particularly pretty.  This one turned out very colorful.  I think it would be a good Halloween recipe too.
