Who doesn’t love popcorn!? We love popcorn in our house. It’s one of those healthy snacks that feels like such a treat. Either for a family night in snuggling & watching movies, or for a lunch box or afternoon snack. Popcorn is always a winner. Although I have to admit I was getting bored with the same old salted popcorn, so what did I do? I added sugar of course! This recipe makes such a big batch that the sugar isn’t too ‘naughty’, unless you eat the whole batch.. hehehe.
This recipe would also make a great gift in a hamper for Christmas time. You can swap the salt for a sprinkle of cinnamon for that warm festive touch.

Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil, I use refined coconut oil
- ¼ cup Sugar, I use Rapadura sugar
- ½ cup Organic popcorn kernels
- Salt, I use pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Heat oil with 3 test kernels in large, deep, heavy pot with the lid on.
- Once the test kernels pop, your oil is hot enough. Add sugar, popcorn kernels & stir a bit, then cover.
- Shake pot every few seconds, it must be done so the sugar & popcorn won’t burn.
- Once popping has slowed, remove pot from heat and keep shaking until there’s no more popping.
- Tip into a BIG bowl. My biggest bowl isn't big enough so I use a wok!
- Use a big spoon to mix it up and add a couple pinches of fine salt.
- Break up any clumps, and let cool just enough to dig in!
- TIP: Now Is a good time to put some into snack bags for lunch boxes..so it's not all eaten at once!
