Not long ago, this delicious treat was found only at local festivals. Due to overwhelming popularity we now offer our highly addictive Kettle Masters Kettle Korn brand popcorn through the Internet.
We still make each batch by hand over an open fired kettle using the finest ingredients available. The slightly sweet, slightly salty combination of our Kettle Korn is outright addicting!
White Chocolate Popcorn Crunch
5 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
12 ounces white chocolate baking chips, chopped white chocolate or white candy coating
1-2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- Cover a baking pan with foil or wax paper; set aside. Place popcorn, cranberries and almonds in a large bowl; set aside.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth OR melt according to package directions. (If chocolate is not smooth after melting, , stir in 1-2 tablespoons shortening until mixture is smooth and loose enough to coat popcorn.)
- Pour chocolate mixture over popcorn mixture and stir to coat. Spread onto prepared pan; allow to cool completely. When chocolate is cooled and set, break into chunks for serving. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
Variation: White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn Crunch:
Omit cranberries and almonds. Stir in 1 cup crushed hard candy peppermints after chocolate is melted.
Edible Popcorn Party Bowl
10 cups popped popcorn
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/3 cup light corn syrup
½ teaspoon vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
10 drops food color, optional
- Spray the inside of a large, stainless steel bowl with cooking spray and the outside of a 2nd large, stainless steel bowl; set aside. These 2 bowls will be used to form popcorn bowl at end of cooking time. (Note: if one bowl is smaller than the other, spray the outside of the smaller bowl.)
- Spray a 3rd large bowl with cooking spray and place popped popcorn inside; set aside.
- Stir sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar and salt together in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and boil for 3 minutes to allow steam to wash down sides of pan. Remove lid and attach candy thermometer to pan. Allow mixture to boil, without stirring, until mixture reaches 290º F. Stir in food color, if desired.
- Working quickly, pour syrup over popcorn and toss with a large spoon until popcorn is thoroughly coated. Pour popcorn mixture into first prepared bowl and use a spoon to push mixture evenly up onto sides of bowl. Firmly press second prepared bowl onto popcorn to form popcorn bowl. Allow popcorn bowl to cool completely between stainless steel bowls. To serve, tip popcorn bowl out and place on platter. Fill with popcorn to serve.

Hey Pattye! I am a huge popcorn person, and I especially love it when it involves something sweet! A friend and I were at a weekend christian music concert thing a couple of years ago and between the two of us, we ate an entire ENORMOUS bag of kettle korn! I loved the stuff!
Crossing my fingers to win some of your delicous korn! :)
And thanks for the recipes...I love getting new ideas!
