Kettle Corn
Okay … I had to go snooping around other people’s blogs and happened to stumble across this amazing recipe for homemade kettle corn. Be forewarned that consuming this is habit forming. Some have described it like “crack”, in terms of its addiction factor – but I don’t know anything about that! I just know that you can’t stop eating and eating it. Words can’t describe how delicious this kettle corn is. I dare ya to eat just one!
The original recipe calls for you to make this on the stove top. Well, I tried it the first time and shaking that big pan the whole time was down-right tiresome. So I thought … I have a Stir Crazy, circa 1980’s, that stirs the popcorn continuously and keeps it from getting scorched. What did I have to lose?
The kettle corn recipe worked like a dream this way! It was light and fluffy with just the right combination of salt and sweet.
So this is the original recipe that I found here, thanks to “Joy the Baker.” My quicker version follows. Happy popping!
- Put 1/4 cup of oil in the bottom of the corn popper and let it heat up.
- Dump in 1/2 cup of corn kernels.
- Sprinkle with 3 Tbs. of white sugar.
- Put the lid on and wait for it to pop. Don’t let it burn!
- When finished popping, invert the lid and sprinkle with 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. of salt while stirring.

This is SOOOOO good! Way to go cooking it other than by the recipe. There is hope.

It was dee-lish! Probably something we shouldn’t have in the house though… (I ate SO MUCH). 🙂
