This popcorn is easy and delicious. It is a hit with children and the "inner child" within us all. During the holidays, my husband adds food coloring for a festive bowl of popcorn.

I disagree w/the person who suggested Coconut oil. YES, that is preferred, but how many of have that handy in our kitchen? With a few SIMPLE ingredients, you can make a yummy kettle corn, so that's fine by me! I also added a little cinnamon to mine, just because. Thanks for an EASY yummy recipe!

    We had a good and bad experience with this recipe but I give it 5 stars because it was really our fault and not the recipe that we had problems with. I had read the reviews from others who had a self turning popcorn maker and decided that it would be fine to use in our counter top, electric popcorn maker (Stir Crazy... Amazing). I added the sugar with the unpopped kernels because I thought the moving arm in the machine would keep the sugar from burning. Everything was okay until the very end. The popcorn at the bottom burned really bad but for the most part the rest was okay. After some tweaking we figured out that the best way to get the sugar in without burning would be to pour it in right after the first kernel popped using the holes at the top of the cover so popcorn wouldn't fly everywhere! Either way, great recipe! Thanks!

    Oh, yum! Like ChrisF, I made this in my Whirley-Pop... a great kitchen gadget to have if you're a popcorn lover like me. I made a half recipe (2 servings all for me!) and used half the oil (I used olive) called for. The end result? A wonderful big bowl of crispy, sweet and absolutely lovely homemade kettle corn. I was a little concerned that the sugar would burn, but it just caramelized and coated the popcorn just wonderfully. I can't believe how easy this was! I'll be making this again for sure. Thanks for a terrific snack!
