I don’t know about you, but I love anything sweet and salty. And popcorn has always been a weakness of mine because it’s easy to make at home, it’s a relatively healthy snack, and it’s just plain delicious. After coming to the realization that I’d spent $5 on a bag of sweet and salty kettle corn one too many times, I went hunting for a kettle corn recipe I could try at home and I found a great one!What’s the Difference Between Popcorn and Kettle Corn?
In the world of popcorn treats, kettle corn is sort of a cross between regular popcorn and caramel corn. It’s not nearly as sweet as caramel corn, but it has just enough sweetness to make it a special indulgence.

Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn Recipe
This kettle corn recipe makes delicious sweet and salty popcorn. It's a stove top kettle corn, so it's a fun recipe to make with kids, too. A quick and easy snack that everyone will love!
Recipe: Ingredients
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1/3 cup popping corn
- a pinch or two of sea salt
Recipe: Instructions
- Add the oil to your stove-top popcorn maker or a large dutch oven pot and heat it on medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and listen for them to sizzle and begin to pop.
- Add the sugar over top of the kernels and if you're using a popcorn maker with a hand crank, be sure to crank continuously until the popping stops.
- If you're using a dutch oven pot, simply shake the pot back and forth slightly over the heat while the kernels pop so the sugar doesn't burn.
- Remove the pot from the heat as soon as the popping slows to a stop and immediately pour the popped kernels into a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the popcorn with a pinch or two of salt, toss well, and serve warm!
