Last week I watched Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The Martha Stewart Show. After Elisabeth was on, Martha had on a couple that had started making & selling their kettle corn. I was intrigued, as I have taken a liking to kettle corn in the past couple of years. When we go on vacation to the beach, my brother-in-law will make kettle corn on the stove late at night. This stuff is the best late-night snack in the world, especially after a glass or two of wine or gluten-free beer.

Just as Angie’s packaging states, the Kettle Corn was a delicious balance of sweetness and salt. The kernels were light and fluffy, which created a delicate, crispy sound as we munched away. The Classic flavor (it also comes in Lite and Caramel) had a noticeably sweet taste without being glazed in sugar, so it still maintained that fun, stick-to-your-tongue feeling when it hits your mouth. It was satisfying without feeling heavy, making it a prime pick when afternoon hunger rolls around. Like, right about now.
All in all, it would make a great snack for any occasion, even a trip to the movies. Now the question is: How do you sneak a bag into the theater?

Angie’s Kettle Corn is another treat discovered at Natural Products Expo East this year. Top eight allergen-free kettle corn. Just four ingredients in a plant that only makes three things: kettle corn, kettle corn lite and caramel corn. Hard to beat that.
My favorite of the three was the regular kettle corn: I found the the lite was flavorless and the caramel tasted chemical-y. But the straight up kettle corn I loved as well as their very clear allergen policy on their site.
Thanks Angie’s for creating this yummy kettle corn!

Kettle corn has come a long way from the county fairs and flea markets.
Eager to play up the sensible side of many indulgent foods, manufacturers have given a healthful makeover to this snack that, during colonial times, was made using pig lard and molasses. These days, mainstream companies like Jolly Time and niche brands are reformulating kettle corn, reducing the fat and sodium while still keeping it sweet enough. Others are going the all-natural route and playing up kettle corn’s healthful nutrients, like whole grains and fiber. Mankato, Minn.-based Angie’s Kettle Corn makes small batches using local ingredients that are free of chemicals and preservatives. Its new caramel-flavored line is sweet — but not too sweet.
“The kernels are not smothered or drenched, but ‘kissed’ with caramel,” said Angie’s president and co-founder, Dan Bastian.
