My family are serious snackers, meaning we take our snacking seriously. This kettle corn recipe is SOOO good.
I rarely let junk food into the house and am always on the search for great tasting snacks without the ridiculous calories.
Because if the snack doesn’t taste good, the kids just won’t eat it.
With September being Childhood Obesity Month, what better time to share a healthier version of a favorite snack!
In observance, I’m incorporating Monk Fruit In The Raw into some of my recipes as a way to reduce sugar without reducing taste.

Homemade Kettle Corn Recipe
Making homemade kettle corn is incredibly easy and takes 10 minutes tops. You probably have most of the ingredients already in your kitchen!
Ingredients:
- Canola oil (or coconut oil)
- Popcorn kernels (I prefer white popcorn but you can use yellow)
- Monk Fruit In The Raw Bakers Bag
- Granulated sugar
- Fine sea salt
Directions for Kettle Corn Recipe:
1. Grab your deep skillet with a cover.
2. Heat 4 teaspoons canola oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sprinkle 1/3 cup popcorn over the bottom of the pot.
4. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons Monk Fruit In The Raw Bakers Bag and 4 teaspoons granulated sugar over the popcorn. Cover the skillet.
Add in the sugars and immediately cover.
5. Hold the skillet just above the heat and shake it constantly to prevent the sugar and popcorn from burning. You may want to grab a good oven mitt — it can get hot!
6. When the popping noticeably slows down, transfer the popcorn immediately to a large bowl.
7. Sprinkle on 1/4 fine sea salt (do more than that and it can get too salty).
8. Toss popcorn to distribute salt and enjoy your healthy homemade kettle corn recipe! (Makes 6 servings with only 148 calories per serving.)
Tips: Because the sugar can burn easily, be sure to not overheat the skillet.
Also, pre-measure the ingredients so you can add them in quickly.
In addition, keep the bowl nearby so you can immediately transfer the popcorn to the bowl; otherwise, you’ll burn your beautiful popcorn!

I love to make my own popcorn and I had never heard of this recipe so I will try it as a snack for the kids this weekend. I need to buy the Monk Fruit
The Monk Fruit is a terrific way to cut out a lot of the calories from Kettle Corn. When you make it, just be sure to pay close attention to the heat… the sugar does burn quickly if you don’t keep the kernels moving. Have fun making it! My boys loved the treat.
I love kettle corn, but have never used Monk Fruit in the Raw. This does look yummy! Thank for sharing at Snickerdoodle!
It cut the calories down and was really easy to use. Certainly makes snacking feel less guilty 🙂

I’ve never heard of Monk Fruit In The Raw. My grandchildren love snacks. Popcorn is at the top of the list. I must do my research on this strange ingredient, and than try this recipe. Please share on Sunday’s Best Linkup.
