Salty and sweet at the same time, which is the whole reason kettle corn exists. Amish Country Popcorn makes theirs with White Hulless kernels, so the crunch is delicate rather than tough and there is almost nothing left in your teeth afterward. Three bags to a box, two and a half minutes each, no pan and no oil to measure.

The carton you receive is the farm’s cream vintage design, photographed here from our own shelf. Pull the plastic overwrap off first, drop the bag in fold-side up, and stop the microwave when the popping slows to a couple of seconds between pops. Kettle corn scorches faster than plain popcorn because of the sugar, so listen rather than trusting the popcorn button.

Ingredients: popcorn, palm oil, salt, natural and artificial butter flavor, soy lecithin, sucralose. Allergen information: contains soy, from the soy lecithin in the ingredient list above. Amish Country Popcorn publishes no separate allergen statement for the Sweet Kettle Corn variety, so treat that ingredient list as the whole declaration. Non-GMO product, printed on the carton.
