I thought there was far too much sugar and too much oil for the recipe. I don't want my kettle corn sticky. With this much sugar is was closer to carmel corn than it was kettle corn. I plan to make again but only use 1/8 cup of sugar and probably less oil as well. I plan to add the sugar after a few minutes of shaking (just before the kernals pop). Mine didn't burn, but I don't want it carmelized, either.

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!
