Homemade Kettle Corn that tastes like you bought it at the state fair AND it’s totally easy to make! Only a few ingredients and a few minutes and you’re enjoying kettle corn right at home!

Guess what today is? National Popcorn Day!!! Am I the first to tell you or did you have it planned out already and have your hand ina big tub of it now as you read this? 😉 I’m super excited to beteaming up with some other great bloggers once a month #celebratingfood with things just like National PopcornDay. (So stick around after the recipe below forlinks to even more popcorn recipes at the bottom of this post!)

Popcorn is without a doubt, a staple at my house. I always have a carton of microwaveable popcorn in my pantry. We probably cook some up every other day. No joke! It’s one of my kids’ favorite snack to eat.

But, do you ever make popcorn the old fashioned way – on the stovetop? It’s one of the easiest things to make. For REAL! You only need a few ingredients and it takes only a couple minutes to make. What about homemade kettle corn?

If you answered no to that last question then you need to scroll down right now to the ingredients and make this homemade kettle corn ASAP! It’s the easiest snack you’ll ever make and it tastes incredible. A little sweet and a little salty, with a crispy exterior on every popped popcorn kernel. You will want to eat the whole batch!

I like to lower the sugar content a bit by using Truvia Baking Blend instead of regular sugar. Works like a charm! While I love those microwaveable popcorn bags, I’m not sure how healthy they are for you. In this kettle corn recipe, you know exactly what’s going into your popcorn and can control the amount of salt and sugar you add.

    I’m dating a girl right now that loves having popcorn while watching movies but is big into eating healthy as well. With that being the case, I’m trying to figure out some ways that I can make some healthy popcorn for our Lord of the Rings movie marathon this weekend. This helped me a ton and I can’t wait to try and make this healthy kettle corn.
