Kettle Corn: Recipe & How-To Tips
Here’s a great video showing how to make kettle corn, the creator of the video (Scott Hargrove) makes it look oh-so-easy…but the best part is how yummy this kettle corn is. If you can’t watch videos on your computer, I do have the recipe and instructions below.
How To Make Kettle Corn
Recipe:
1/4 cup vegetable oil (peanut oil or canola oil works too)
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 TBS white granulated sugar
1 TBS brown sugar
Coarse salt (to taste)
Large pot with a lid
Directions:
- Place the large pot on stove and turn the heat on high, add the oil to the pot. Heat oil till it gets very hot (not smoking). Ripples and veins will start to appear in the oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels then cover with lid.
- Watch for kernels to pop, once they start popping, turn the heat down to medium.
- Carefully shake the pot occasionally to shake the unpopped kernels to the bottom of the pot (where they can get hot enough to pop). This also helps prevent the popcorn from scorching.
- When the popcorn stops popping, remove pot from heat.
- Carefully remove the lid so you don’t get hit with hot popping popcorn.
- Pour the powdered sugar over top. Cover with lid and give the pot a shake to distribute the sugar.
- Remove lid, add the both the brown and white sugars to the popcorn, cover with lid and shake it up again.
- Put pot on stove again, low heat, to melt the sugar a bit, shake often. Cover with salt (to taste), shake pot again.
- Pour popcorn into large serving bowl and sprinkle a bit more salt over top.
Delish!

Why oh why am I out of brown sugar? This sounds so good and crazy easy. I may be forced to go buy some tonight.
I came up with this recipe about a year ago. Everyone in my family ‘loves’ this one! Our Grandson won’t come over without having me make it!
***FIRST: Take a bag of ‘Heath Bar Pieces’ (found by the chocolate chips in the grocery store); and 1 cup of brown sugar. Put both in food processor and pulse till all is chopped & mixed well. Store this mixture in a double bag, to keep moisture out.
“Darlene’s Kettle Corn”
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/8 cup oil
1/8 cup Heath Bar mixture (more or less, to your taste)
Put all in pot on stove (we use the kind with the handle that turns, to keep it from scorching); on low heat, keep turning crank, till all kernels are popped.
Pour in bowl and enjoy! : )
Ohhhh thanks for sharing that recipe Darlene, gotta try it!
Your welcome! You are “gonna” love it!!!
This has me craving kettle corn right now !Love kettle corn,,even with the sweetners all added,it still isnt all that in calories!
When I make Kettle Corn, I add sugar (regular granulated white sugar) to the oil when I add the popcorn. Add salt to the popped corn to taste – easy and delicious!
