Have You Ever Tried Kettle Corn Popcorn?

By Jacob Biggs

kettle corn popcorn is probably the choice of a snack for a lot of people. Not only is popcorn good for you, but kettle popcorn is not as bad for you as most sweet treats. If you would like to make your own kettle popcorn, all you have to do is look at recipes on the internet.

They both equally agreed that this was the best sweet treat that they had ever tried before in their life. I knew mom and dad could not be wrong because they had lived a long time. I also knew that mom and dad made sure to bring a few extra cents so that me and my brother could get some of this scrumptious treat.

If brown sugar is used you will get more of a caramel corn. So to stick with the kettle popcorn taste you will want to stick with white sugar instead of using the brown sugar, unless you are looking for more of a caramel corn. If you are someone who enjoys the popcorn balls (which seem to only come out around Halloween) then you will love Kettle Corn.

Finally finding the vendor that I had spotted when we came in advertising in large letters which said "Kettle Corn Popcorn here." I was able to hop in line, I did not care that the fair was getting ready to close in fifteen minutes or that the line was much longer than a fifteen minute wait, I was hopeful that things would move fast enough and I would get to try this popcorn.

There are several recipes on the internet which you can try if you want to spice up your kettle popcorn. There are ways you can add color to the corn instead of just having white. In order to add color you should add a couple drops of food coloring to the sugar and oil before you put the kernels in, you mix it all up and then add the kernels.

My heart almost skipped a beat when I realized that the man almost closed the window on me before he realized I was there. Apologizing to me, he asked me what I would like to try today! I knew I only had a couple seconds to decide because the fair people were not happy that everyone had not cleared the grounds yet.

Maybe you do not want to make your own Kettle corn popcorn, if not you can simply buy a bag from a local grocery store. Sometimes the grocery stores will have theirs pre-made in a bag and sometimes you have to buy it in a bag that you stick in the microwave. Either way, don't forget to give this wonderful sweet treat a try.
