INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
In the Air Popper, pop popcorn into a large bowl, make sure to take out all the un-popped kernels, set aside. Note: Scoop popcorn with your hands shake it so any un-popped kernels will fall out then transfer to another bowl.
In a saucepan add butter, Karo syrup and red hots. Turn the stove on to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon stir constantly.
When candy coating is done, pour over popcorn and toss gently coating the popcorn. Note: You need to work fast after pouring candy coating over the popcorn.

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Pour popcorn onto the cookie sheet, spreading out evenly. Note: Make sure to use a cookie sheet that has sides to contain the popcorn, it can be a bit messy when you stir it.
