This is terrific stuff, we used to make a trip to the local farmers market to get it. Now whenever the wife's feeling glum I whip her up a batch and it bring a smile to her face. I use 3 tblspns of soy bean oil + 1 tblspn of butter for the popcorn (oil type does make a difference)

I've been buying Jolly Time's Kettle Mania microwave popcorn for awhile now and I love the stuff. This is equally good, not to mention much cheaper!

Fantastic, cheap and incredibly easy, plus no strange ingredients. The kids loved it for movie night. Two tablespoons of oil was perfect in my whirly pop stove top corn popper..and no unpopped kernels or burnt popcorn. It's important to let the popcorn and oil get hot before adding the sugar to prevent burning. We'll make this often. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Easy to make and tastes great. I find that using a splatter screen (like the kind you use over a frying pan for bacon) keeps the oil and popcorn from going all over and yet lets it get the air it needs to pop correctly.

This was fantastic! I tried using a different, more complicaetd recipe for this before with disastrous results that ruined my cooking pot! This recipe was easy, and delicious! Just like the kind you buy at the zoo or the fair!

This is yummy, a real treat! I've made it twice - the first time I didn't shake it constantly, so the sugar scorched some in the bottom of the pan. The second time I used Steve G's suggestion for the amount of oil and kept that pan in motion while the corn popped. Much much better than the bags of kettlecorn fixed in the microwave. Thanks for the recipe, James.

THIS IS SO GREAT! I'm 7 months pregnant, so having cravings go bad is extra devastating. I was prepared for another tear-jerker with this recipe, and DIDN'T GET IT! I used Mr. G's advice on 3 tablespoons of oil and shook, shook, shook. The results were perfect. Don't forget the salt!

I too spend a boatload of $$ at the fair on this stuff...........EASY, and definitely just as good as what you can buy. just make sure the oil is hot (drop a kernel or two in the oil, when it pops, add the rest) THEN add the sugar...... YUMMY

Wonderful! I made this with coconut oil and added salt in with the oil in the beginning and it was GREAT! Nice texture, awesome taste and no yucky chemicals, like in microwave popcorn! This recipe is going into my private collection to pass down to my kids!

Hey, thanks for posting this, we found this popcorn last year and really love it!!!! Now we no longer have to buy it all the time, we can just make our own. My FIL is a midwest farmer and in the past has grown his own "popcorn".
