Who will be in the Super Bowl? Patriots vs. Packers, Patriots vs Saints, Ravens vs. Packers? No one knows. I’m hoping that Tom Brady of the Patriots and Aaron Rodgers of the Packers will face each other because they’re two of my favorite players. For the mysterious Super Bowl, I made a new and really easy game day recipe. If you’re wondering what I made, It’s simple. I made Kettle Corn and Cinnamon Kettle Corn.
Most of the time, you eat Kettle Corn at fairs or carnivals, right? So when you can make it and eat it home, that’s cool.
How to Make Kettle Corn:
There are many different kinds of popcorn. But out of all of them, I like Orville Redenbacher’s. Add popcorn to a pot.
Add oil to the pot. What is so amazing with this recipe is that it only has three ingredients- oil, sugar and popcorn! Wow.
Add sugar to the pot. That is such a cool picture! The sugar seams to stream down into the pot. If you’re making Cinnamon Kettle Corn, add the cinnamon right after all of the other ingredients are in the pot.
In order for the Kettle Corn not to burn, you can’t stop shaking the pot for too long.
I am laughing in this picture because the popcorn kernels kept popping and they made a loud pinging sound as they hit the lid of the pot.
Aahhh. Tasting time!
Eat some while it’s hot! You always want to eat some Kettle Corn while it’s still warm because that’s when it tastes the best. Season it with salt because the sweet and salty flavor is awesome.
I made these cool Kettle Corn Labels on my computer! They come in handy if you’re putting the popcorn in little bags for a party.
For such an easy treat to make, the two kinds of Kettle Corn tasted great! I’m sure the football-lover dads (and kids like me) can already smell this recipe in their future.
Remember, if you are unsure about what to make for a Super Bowl party, what do you think I’m going to suggest? Of course these two awesome Kettle Corn recipes! Now that you know how to make this Kettle Corn, get cooking!
And even a kid can be a Kettle Corn vendor for a day… Like Me!
Kettle Corn
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup popcorn kernels

Directions:
- Put the popcorn, oil and sugar into a large pot. Partially cover and cook over medium-high to high heat, sliding the pot back and forth constantly over the burner, until the popping stops. Remove the popcorn from the heat immediately and sprinkle it with salt, if desired.

Delish!
Thanks for the recipe! Your instructions are great and pictures are so much fun!! I am going to make some tonight!! YUM!
I just made a batch. It is so yummy!! Thanks for sharing!!
This kettle corn is soooo good—-the regular and with the cinnamon!!
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
Directions:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, stir in the sugar and popcorn. Cover, and shake the pot constantly to keep the sugar from burning. Once the popping has slowed to once every 2 to 3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat and continue to shake for a few minutes until the popping has stopped. Pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large clumps.
Enjoy!!! So yummy
Thanks!
Just tried this recipe for the first time. It turned out great! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
I purchase mushroom popcorn at a bulk store. The kernels pop up round and larger than normal store popcorn (name brand). It costs a little more but well worth it
