My mother in law and I were looking for a Kettle Corn recipe where we could use already popped microwave popcorn. We stumbled across this one and we are sure glad we did! It was super easy and delicious. We will definitely make this recipe from now on rather than buy kettle corn when we are having a craving. Thanks!

I recently got into the kettle corn biz because I love the stuff so much. Here's some tips that I would suggest if you're doing at home. There's a difference between using corn oil and vegetable/canola oil Corn oil somehow gives the kettle corn a little more "corny" taste. Before I bought a giant hot kettle to make the stuff, I tried doing it on a stove. It wasn't the same as the festival stuff, just OK. The reason is you need a VERY HOT heat source to BROWN the white sugar. Just using brown sugar gives it a different taste. What I would suggest if you DO try to attempt it at home is melt and brown the white sugar somehow before you put it in a popper. I've got a funny video on my website which shows how us pros make kettle corn: Velma's Wicked Delicious Kettle Corn
