Brown Sugar Kettle Corn

It's movie night and you can't have movie night without popcorn! This treat is addicting, before you know it, the whole batch it gone and everyone is asking for more. It has just the right amount of sweet and salty with a bit of a caramel surprise from the brown sugar. And with this Whirly Pop the kiddos will be asking to help. Popcorn is a whole grain full of fiber making this snack a bit guilt-free.

Never leaves our stove top!

Ready for the movies

Brown Sugar Kettle Corn
Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons oil (I like coconut oil)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• salt to taste

Directions:
Put the sugars, butter and cinnamon in a small bowl. Heat oil in Whirly Pop (or large pot with lid), put 2 to 3 kernels into pot. When those pop, add the rest of the kernels. Start to crank the Whirly Pop slowly (or swirl the pot), as soon as those kernels start to pop quickly add the sugar mixture. Continue to crank the Whirly Pop (or swirl pot) to prevent the sugars from burning.
When popping slows down to 2-3 per second, remove from heat. Caution, it is very hot!
Pour half into a large bowl, lightly sprinkle with salt, pour remaining popcorn into bowl, sprinkle with salt.
Toss to coat and to break up into small pieces. Enjoy!

Yields: 12-14 cups popped
