Gingerbread Kettle Corn

Gingerbread kettle corn is, well, gingery. I thought that it would be better than gingerbread caramel corn because it is healthier and easier to make. It ended up being a hit with my family! I was very happy about being able to make sweet, gingerbread popcorn without it taking me forever to make. Let's get started:

What You'll Need:

A pot with a lid (or a Whirley Pop)

A small bowl, for the gingerbread spices

Oven Mittens

A bowl for the popcorn

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn

1/3 cup canola oil

1/4 cup sugar

1-1/2 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Salt, to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Pour the canola oil in the pot and put three unpopped kernels in as well. Turn your burner to medium heat.

Step 2: While the kernels are heating, mix the ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together in the small bowl.

Step 3: When all three kernels pop, quickly pour the rest of the popcorn in, along with the sugar and spices.

Step 4: Wait 30 seconds, then start shaking three seconds on, three seconds off until the popcorn slows down popping. Once it slows down, take it off the heat.

Step 5: Pour into the bowl and salt.

Step 6: Enjoy!
