I love popcorn, especially kettle corn….and I especially love homemade kettle corn! But with a few ingredients, you can make your own gourmet popcorn at home that the whole family will love. Perfect for movie night!
Heat coconut oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium heat.
Add a few popcorn kernels to the oil and wait until they pop (this is how you know the oil is hot enough).
Add the rest of your popcorn to the oil.
Put the lid back on the pan but leave it slightly vented to allow the steam to escape.
Watch the popcorn continuously, it can burn quickly!
Give the pan a good shake every once in a while to let the kernels all get to the hot oil.
As soon as the popping slows down, remove the pan from the heat and let it finish popping on your counter or hot pad.
Pour the popcorn into a bowl.
Melt butter and pour over popcorn (I found the butter pictured below at our co-op and it was amazing! The deep yellow butter in the upper right is a raw grass-fed Amish butter that we get from a local farm. It is pure butter heaven!)
Sprinkle on salt and coco monkey and mix well with your hands. Season to your taste.
