**Kettle Corn**
**Ingredients:**
– 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
– 1/4 cup coconut oil
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the popcorn:** In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid. Once the kernels pop, the oil is ready.
2. **Add the remaining kernels:** Pour in the rest of the popcorn kernels and immediately sprinkle the sugar over the kernels. Close the lid and give the pot a shake to coat the kernels evenly with sugar.
3. **Pop the corn:** Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even popping. Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from the heat. Be careful as the popcorn may continue to pop for a little bit.
4. **Prepare the syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to bubble.
5. **Coat the popcorn:** Drizzle the hot maple syrup over the popcorn in the pot. Use a spoon to gently toss the popcorn, ensuring that each piece gets coated with the syrup. Be cautious as the syrup will be very hot.
6. **Cool and enjoy:** Spread the kettle corn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. Sprinkle a bit more salt over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Let it cool completely before breaking it apart and serving.
