2 cups plain salted popcorn
½ cup water
1 Tbsp butter
1 packet Pink Lemonade Kool-Aid

Instructions

Prepare 3 baking sheets lined with wax paper.
To make the cherry popcorn flavor, place the popcorn in a large bowl.
Place the sugar, cherry Kool-Aid, water, and butter in a saucepan on medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
Pour over the popcorn and stir quickly to coat.
Spread onto one of the prepared baking sheets and leave to dry for 1-2 hours or until no longer sticky.
Repeat steps 2-5 for both the pink lemonade flavor using the pink lemonade Kool-Aid, and for the chocolate flavor using the hot cocoa mix.
When the flavored popcorns have dried, it's time to mix all of the ingredients together.
Place the flavored popcorns into a large bowl with the regular salted popcorn and toss to combine.
Then add the other candies and sprinkles. Toss again to combine and transfer to popcorn boxes.
