Just a few years ago I had never heard of or saw the stuff anywhere. Now there seems to be a booth at every state/craft/seasonal fair, in addition to it being sold in bags at grocery stores.


If you're unfamiliar, it's simply popcorn lightly seasoned with sugar and salt. The taste and texture is similar to regular popcorn, but not as sweet as ike a carmel popcorn. The smell of the fresh popped stuff wafts through the crowds at these events and lures you in. And is it addictive! I pretend it's healthy so I can eat more. Any else a fan this stuff?

Cook it at home on the stovetop in a big pot with a lid. Use coconut oil, brown and white sugars, and salt. Sometimes pepper or sliced almonds mixed in.

Why? 2 words. Sugar and salt.
My husband absolutely loves that stuff. I'm not going to tell him we can make it at home. LOL

I love the combination of sweet and salty. Kettle popcorn is my favorite.

Do you just throw everything in all at once and heat until the kernels pop? Doesn't the sugar burn or melt before the kernels get hot enough to burst? I'm curious how to do this since I don't buy those microwave packets, prefer to make my own but I usually just pop it in a dry pan with nothing in it but the kernels.

Love the smell of kettle corn--just a wonderful aroma! We just got hooked on Kettle Popcorners and they are addictive.

Anything Kettle Corn flavored should be sold in single portions only. I can't stop eating the stuff. "Food should taste good" brand kettle corn chips are amazing, as is the real thing of course.
