Ready In
- Heat the corn oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the corn kernels once hot. When the first couple of kernels pop, stir in the white and brown sugars. Cover the pot with a lid, and agitate the pot in a circular motion on the stove. Allow the corn to pop, agitating constantly, until the rate has slowed down to one pop every two or three seconds. Remove the pot from the stove, and shake the pot until the popping stops. Pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool to room temperature. Break apart the large clumps of popcorn by hand, and season with salt to taste.
Footnotes
- Editor's Note
- Be very careful when popping the corn and pouring it out of the pot. The sugar will be very hot and can cause severe burns.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

I made this twice and both times I burned the sugar. Maybe medium heat is a little too hot.

Awesome! I doubled all ingredients, except the oil I left 1/4 cup. I also threw in the salt (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) along with the sugars. It tasted like a light version of caramel popcorn but w...

For a quick, easy and tasty snack you can't beat it. It was just the right amount of sweetness for us.

Yum! I used a little more brown sugar that this recipe called for. It was great!

Super easy, followed as is it yields a good sized bowl of crispy, crunchy, and certainly sugary, popcorn. On a scale of 100 I'd give this a 95 but that's still an A. Some recipe notes after tr...

Excellent recipe! I adapted it to my electric popcorn popper and it was GREAT! (1/4 C oil to 1/2C popcorn - let them heat until they are "sizzling" then sprinkle sugars over. I shook the popper ...
