Easy Homemade Kettle Corn Ingredients

This easy kettle corn recipe has simple ingredients with basic instructions! It is quick and easy to make and feeds a crowd. Everyone loves homemade kettle corn and this kettle corn has a sweet sugary taste with a salty and savory flavor that balances each other out. It is the best combination!

Pot – A large pot, pan, or saucepan with a clear lid is perfect! Use a bigger pot than you think you need! Stockpots or Dutch ovens work well. Make sure it has a clear lid so you can keep an eye on the sugar. Baking sheet – Put out a baking sheet before you start making your kettle corn. When it is ready, pour it onto the baking sheet to cool and to make it easy to separate un-popped kernels. Bowl – The bigger the better! A large serving bowl is going to catch all the popcorn and hold enough for everyone. If you are using a metal bowl, be careful, the bottom will be hot if you are eating it right away. Oil – I like to use vegetable oil or canola oil, but you can also use refined coconut oil or avocado oil. Popcorn kernels – You can buy these at the grocery store near the microwave popcorn! Sugar – White granulated sugar works best in my experience. This white sugar gives it a sweet taste and a light texture. Salt – Adding just a little bit of salt at the end gives this popcorn the best salty flavor!

How to Make the Best Homemade Kettle Corn

Once you make your first batch of homemade kettle corn you will be a pro! It is so simple to do and becomes easier and easier the more you pop kettle corn. Simply prepare your pot and ingredients, warm the burner and pop popcorn, then remove and let cool off before enjoying. It is that quick and easy!

Making Homemade Kettle Corn for a Crowd

Need more than a couple of servings of kettle corn?! You can easily scale this recipe up using the same ratios. However, make sure you have a big enough pot or pan to fit the popcorn. If you are making multiple batches one after another, make sure to let the pan cool down a little bit and wash off any leftover melted sugar. If you leave the melted sugar in the bottom of the pan, it will burn quickly when you start the next batch.

Recipe Tips

Storing Homemade Kettle Corn

I would be surprised if you had leftover kettle corn! But, if you do, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will only really last a couple of days so eat it quick!
