This Kettle Corn is one of our favorite treats. It is perfect any time of day and will satisfy your sweet tooth. Best part is how easy it is to make!
Sitting down with your family and watching a movie or playing games with a bowl of a warm bowl of kettle corn isย bound to make your day.
Kettle corn is one of my favorite snacks ever!!!! It is the most addicting treat. I am sure itโs the combination of the sugar & salt that draws me in every time & keeps me coming back for more. There are so many fun things that you can do with this recipe; on that note, more posts on kettle corn to come shortly. But for now, here is my favorite recipe for homemade kettle corn.

STIR CRAZY:ย The $30 investment for this is well worth it! Itโs so much easier than the stovetop and wonโt burn! We use ours almost daily.
MIXING BOWLS:ย I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of its durability.

Kettle Corn
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
Stir Crazy Instructions
- Plug in the Stir Crazy
- Pour in the oil and add popcorn
- Wait a minute or two then add the sugar evenly over the popcorn kernels
- Place lid on the Stir Crazy and wait for all kernels to be popped.
- Unplug and turn over stir crazy โ add salt to taste.
- Let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
Stovetop Instructions
- Pour the oil and corn kernels in a large pot over med-high heat (make sure you use one that has a tight-fitting lid).
- Place the lid on top of the pot and mix it around a few times directly on burner.
- Open lid and sprinkle sugar around kernels. Replace lid and shake the pot in circular motion on the burner, until you hear the kernels start to pop.
- Continue to shake in a circular motion while the kernels are popping until they are all completely popped. Remove from heat, add salt to taste. I like to pour the kettle corn on the counter to cool, with this method, so it doesnโt stick to the pan.
Notes
My review: I love this recipe. I like to add a little more sugar to it as well as a pinch of cinnamon.
Kids review: Jordan, 8 years had it featured at her birthday party this year โ that is how much she loves it. They all love it and fight over holding the big red bowl which is what I usually serve this tasty treat in. To solve this matter we typically have to break out cups for them each to have their own.
Since I heart popcorn & kettle corn so much, I’ve been wondering if it was possible to do in my Stir Crazy. Thanks for sharing!
