I thought about it, but there was no way I was gonna make just half of this recipe & instead doubled it for the 2 of us! This was my first trip down 'kettle-corn lane' but my other half has had it before! VERY, VERY TASTY & very much worth making again! Many thanks!

    What a great recipe! I burnt a few of the kernels, but overall it turned out great! Next time, I will add the salt and sugar just when the first piece pops. I think it is too sludgy otherwise and that is why it burnt. I will also add more salt. Thanks for posting!

    The stovetop crank popper (whirypop, detonator, etc.) makes this recipe a no-brainer. I use a little less oil, but otherwise follow the recipe exactly as written. The amount of salt is just enough for me (although DH tells me I should add a little more). I do my kettle corn at medium-high heat and haven't gotten a single scorched kernel yet. This is great stuff!
