Add a twist!

Make your own kettle corn using the recipe below.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ¼ cup sugar
• ½ cup popcorn kernels
• ½ tsp. salt

Directions

1. Lay out parchment paper to pour popcorn on when it is finished popping.
2. Heat the oil and three kernels of popcorn in a pot over medium-high heat.
3. When the kernels pop, add the remaining kernels and sugar. Stir vigorously.
4. Place a lid on the pot and shake the pot back and forth over the eye. Use an oven mitt to hold the lid in place and protect your hands.
5. Once the pot is full and the kernels have slowed down to only one or two popping, pour the popcorn out onto the parchment paper.
6. Sprinkle the popcorn with the salt and let cool.
7. Fill plastic snack bags with popcorn and attach a snapshot to each bag.
