The World’s Easiest Homemade Kettle Corn Recipe

The following post is from Tara of This Sweet Life and Embark on the Journey:

My 17 year old son went through a phase a year or so ago when he would eat a bag of popcorn almost every night. Seriously. A whole bag by himself. He would get mad if I would suggest he share it with one of his siblings – or me!

We were constantly running out of popcorn for our family movie nights, because he would eat it through the week. So, my husband started making his own kettle corn.

Now, his kettle corn is a highly requested special snack for family movie nights or family game nights. And, our extended family requests it when they come for a visit.
