I was terrified of this, because I had never made popcorn before. It turned out perfect! I love kettle corn, and this is it. And yes, I added salt. It just wouldn't be right without it.

My son has always liked kettle corn and this recipe is much better than the packaged kettle corn. Thank you for sharing.

My husband and I both loved it! It was exactly what we wanted. I made it with a hald cup of popcorn instead of a third and it still turned out awesome.

Good popcorn, I think a may have put to much salt in. Next time I make it it will be with no salt.

UPDATE: I got ahold of some canola oil, and that really made a world of difference: my roommates loved it. One guy even said, "I hate kettle corn, but this is great!". Thanks for the simple recipe! PREVIOUS REVIEW:I didn't have any vegetable oil (we're about to move out of our apartment for the semester, so supplies are running low), so I tried to use butter instead. The popcorn DID pop, but the butter got too hot and burned (I think), which made this snack not taste very good. I hope to try this again sometime with oil to see how it's really supposed to go. More later when I do! Moral of the story: Substituting "butter" for "oil" in this recipe is less than delicious.
