Sweet Kettle Corn Recipe (+ Easy Snack Idea)

First things first, let’s get a glimpse of what we’re working with. Check out this gorgeous bowl of kettle corn that’s just begging to be devoured!

Ingredients

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil for a hint of tropical flair)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more if you’re a salt enthusiast)
Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder for a twist!

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Test it by adding just three kernels; if they pop, you’re ready to roll!
Once those test kernels have popped, remove them and add the rest of the popcorn kernels and the sugar. Put the lid on the pot, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape. Trust me, your kettle corn needs to breathe!
Shake the pot occasionally as the kernels begin to pop like little fireworks. Keep it moving to avoid burning the sugar. We’re going for deliciousness, not bitterness!
Once you hear the popping slow down (about every 2 seconds), remove the pot from the heat and carefully take off the lid. Watch out for any rogue popcorn that might jump out!
Sprinkle the salt over the popcorn while it’s still hot and give it a good shake in the pot to ensure even distribution. If you’re feeling wild, add your optional spices here!
Dump your delightful creation into a large bowl and let it cool slightly (if you can resist the temptation). Then dig in!

And there you have it! A bowl full of sweet, crunchy bliss that will definitely have your friends and family begging for more. Enjoy your kettle corn adventure, and may every bite bring you popcorn-y joy!
