- In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring between heating, until melted.
- Immediately pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
- Turn out onto waxed paper and allow to cool completely. Break into pieces.

- In a separate microwave safe measuring cup or bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 stick butter, 2 tablespoons syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 Cherry Jell-O and several drops of red food coloring (optional). Microwave on high for 1 ½ minutes; stir.
