Strawberry Zebra Popcorn Balls

I have been looking for a yummy popcorn ball recipe for a baby shower I'm throwing for my sister in law. I found a simple one on pinterest, and then of course changed some things to it. The theme to her baby shower is pink and zebra print, so that's what I was going for with the pink strawberry flavor and the drizzled chocolate and white chocolate on top is supposed to be for the zebra print. Use your imagination! :) These are soooo cute and you could use any flavor jell-o for any color for any occasion!
Warning: They are pretty sweet and chewy...but that's what popcorn balls are for!

Ingredients:  3 bags of popcorn ( I think I just got the regular butter kind)
                     1 cup light corn syrup
                   1/2 cup sugar
                     1 small box of jell-o (I got strawberry)
                  Almond Bark brand chocolate and white chocolate chunks
                    paper cupcake holder things


Directions: So in a pan, stir in the corn syrup and the sugar. Heat to boiling. (stir it pretty constantly) Once it reaches a boil, let it boil for one minute only, and then remove from stove and stir in the jell-o mix. Pop your bags of popcorn and then pour the mixture over it and stir it quickly to try and cover it evenly. It's easier to use your hands too, just be careful because it's kinda hot! Then, just form them into cute little balls. Butter your hands to prevent them from sticking all over you. Then, melt the chocolates in the microwave and drizzle on top! Place in the cupcake holders and you're done!

Servings: Depends on how big you make them...but I think mine made like 25.
