Kettle Corn

Hey everyone! I had a craving for something a little sweet (yea, imagine) and thought I'd re-post this recipe for Kettle Corn before it gets too humid to enjoy it! I found it on Joythebaker.com.
Hope you love it if you try it:@)
Homemade Kettle Corn
1/2 C popcorn - I use 1/4 C
1/4 C vegetable or grapeseed oil - I use 1 Tblsp
3 Tblsp sugar - I use 1 Tblsp
Salt to taste. 1/2 - 1 tsp. - I sprinkle some on after it's in the bowl
  1. Add oil, sugar, and 3 kernels to 2-3 quart pan with lid, heat over medium heat.
  2. Once the corn begins to pop add the rest, add lid, and give pan a good shake.
  3. Shake vigorously until popping slows down. Be careful to remove popcorn from pan before it burns.
  4. Pour into bowl, add salt.
  5. Carefully mix the two types of popcorn and allow to cool for a couple minutes.
  6. Once it has completely cooled down, leftovers can be added back to the bag, or a Lock-N-Lock, for storage.
Joy's recipe makes 8-10 cups - I've never measured mine but like to think it makes one serving (ok - maybe two servings!)
Be careful, melted sugar is very hot and sometimes a kernel will pop outside of the pot. 

Y'All get your butter ready...

    I was planning on making a batch of popcorn and this sounds so good..I have started watching the carbs so I might sprinkle some Splenda on it, I know it won't be the same but it won't hurt to try.

    Have a good night. xo
