Kettle corn is a type of popcorn, that combines sweet and salty. You will most likely find kettle corn at fairs and carnivals, and due to its popularity, in grocery stores as well.

Invitations

It all starts with the invitation. Make a guest list of everyone you want to invite. Once you have your guest list, its time to sent out invitations. I always like to make my invitations creative and customize them to the of the party. Be sure your invitation includes the date, time, location and rsvp information.

One afternoon while watching a movie with my school aged daycare children, they requested I make them some popcorn. I searched my pantry and was disappointed that it was bare of any bags of microwave popcorn, so it was immediately added to my grocery shopping list.

When I was doing my shopping, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jolly Time now makes two different styles of microwave popcorn! One is your typical popcorn, and the other is kettle corn.

Both are sold under the “Healthy Pop” moniker, and contain only 100 calories. I love kettle corn, so I picked up a box of both flavors, (the regular for the kids and the kettle corn for myself), and we enjoyed them this afternoon. I am reviewing the kettle corn version.

It is thought to have originated from the settlements in Pennsylvaniafrom the Dutch settlers. It was very popular until the early 1900’s. Then it sort of disappeared for a bit but, lately has made a strong comeback.

It is a favorite of many because it has less fat and sodium in it. It is less sweeter than Carmel corn.
