    This was sweet and yummy. It seemed a little (lighter) then the kettle corn from the fair, etc. --Probably due to the confectioners sugar. So we did eat it all right away but don't feel sick because of it, haha.

    I used a Whirley Pop to make this, which made the primary sugar addition a bit tricky, but it turned out yummy.
