Are you looking for a tasty snack you can make at home with or for your family? Forget about the microwave and make this DIY stove-top kettle corn instead. It’s easy, fun and delicious! Trust me, make this yummy popcorn!


 Easy DIY Stove-top Kettle Corn

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil of your choice
  • 1/3 cup un-popped corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • salt to taste

How to:

  1. Put the oil in a pot and heat to medium high - Handles and a cover are your friend today!
  2. Put 3 kernels in the oil and wait for the three kernels to pop -Now you are ready!   
  3. Add kernels and spread them out in one thin layer at the bottom of the pot.
  4. Cover and let pop, this should start fairly quick. Start shaking the covered pot around to let the kernels shake around so that the un-popped kernels can get to the bottom where it's hot!
  5. When the popping seems to have slowed down carefully pour in the sugar.
  6. Continue shaking the covered pot around, distributing the sugar and also letting the rest of the kernels pop.
  7. When it seems like the popping has slowed considerably "1-2 minutes" remove the pot from heat and let it cool. 
  8. Stir the popcorn around to make sure the sugar has evenly distributed.


Enjoy!
