Your mother called, said “eat your veggies.” (Finger wag.) And today corn is on the menu. Do you like corn? 🙂 Hope so. Because I’ve got the easiest fall treat for you with two kinds of corn: Candy Corn Kettle Corn. If you need a fast, easy and festive treat, look no further. You can make this in five minutes and delight kettle corn lovers of all ages. I made a “test” batch last week. Couldn’t even shoot the pictures.
It was literally eaten out from under me by my greedy loving family. Gone. Had to whip up another batch for these photos.
We sure do love kettle corn around here. There’s just something about that sweet/salty combo that gets us. Then add candy corn to the mix and you’ve got an addictively sweet snacking treat that’s fun and inexpensive. It’s nice when all the mouths around here are happy. (And quiet.) There were lots of happy (quiet) mouths sampling this sweet and crunchy Candy Corn Kettle Corn recipe at my house.
This Candy Corn Kettle Corn bags up easily for individual lunch box snacks, class parties or Halloween treats.

Dear Mrs. Taylor,
This looks very delicious! Especially because i’m a kid and what kids don’t like candy and popcorn! I’ll have to ask mom to make me my own personal batch!
Allie says
Dear Olivia, You’re right. I don’t know of too many kids that don’t like candy and popcorn. Hope your mom agrees to the deal! xo
Jon says
Allie’s husband most definitely likes candy corn. This is a deadly combination (in the best way). 🙂

I can’t believe I never put candy corn with popcorn. Sounds delicious! I thought it was pretty funny your family ate it before you could take any pictures.

It’s been one of those crazy weeks and I am supposed to be working right now but I am here procrastadrooling! For one, I’ve never had kettle corn with sugar and salt sprinkled on it – this is the ultimate combo of sweet and salty! And adding the candy corn – no wonder all the mouths at your place were quiet and happy!
Allie – I sure hope you and your lovely family have a wonderful and safe Halloween weekend! xx

I love kettle corn but have never made it myself. I certainly will give this recipe a try and I just so happen to have a bag of candy corn in my pantry. I know my family would love a treat like this!
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg says
Allie – You just up and morphed my two favorite things together into one par-tay! I’m savoring the candy corn that is left over. Surprisingly, I’ve never made kettle corn at home. Maybe, that’ll be the snack for tonight while my boyfriend and I are catching up on our favorite shows. 😀
