Brown Sugar Kettle Corn is kettle corn’s slightly more fun and mature sibling. Salty, sweet, and just a bit caramelly, it’s perfect for movie night or an afternoon snack. I shared my white sugar Kettle Corn Recipe with you last year, and I LOVE that recipe, but Brown Sugar Kettle Corn is like its slightly more mature sibling. When the brown sugar caramelizes and coats the popcorn kernels, the molasses in the sugar gives everything a deeper, richer flavor that you just can’t get with plain white sugar....
