How to Make Kettle Corn

Step 3 Now you'll have to move fast

This is where you may need your safety glasses as you're now dealing with hot oil and exploding projectiles. (you could also try the "duck and cover" if you like)

After it has heated up a bit, the oil will start to bubble and the popcorn will begin to swell (this will take about 2-3 minutes). As soon as a couple of kernels pop, sprinkle the sugar on top of the popcorn and place the lid on the pot.

I got luck and was in two places this summer where I could get it. I just finished the last and am jones'in for more already. I'm going to try this with some popcorn I grew last season. Thanks.

I just made this in only a few minutes. It was fantastic! Exactly like the kettlecorn you buy at the fair. Thanks for the fun memories of summer in the cold, cold, winter.

I'm so glad you like it! The reason I first started making it was so I didn't have to wait for the next fair or festival. Then I decided to post it here because I remembered that I would always had to stand in line for 30 minutes to an hour waiting to buy it, so I figured EVERYONE will want to be able to make it whenever they are in the mood for it (which is just about every night in this house). Keep enjoying it.

Yes! I made this literally a half hour after I read it. Turned out great. Thanks a lot!
