Campfire or Stovetop Popcorn
I know it’s such a VERY SIMPLE thing: Stovetop or CampFire POPPED Popcorn, but sometimes we need a little reminder how FUN and EASY it is to make snacks at home!
My kids ABSOLUTELY LOVE it when I take a few minutes to make a special stovetop batch of popcorn for movie night…even more special throughout the holidays!
This is an EXCELLENT snack idea for older children, & growing teens (like my 6) because they really love it, it’s economical, and REALLY EASY!

Ingredients

Campfire or Stovetop Popcorn Directions
- Place a heavy bottomed pot on your stovetop.
- Add oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, CAREFULLY add 2-3 popcorn kernels as a test round. Once the first kernel pops, stir in the remaining corn.
- Carefully stir to evenly coat all the kernels with oil, then cover with a lid.
- Next, allow the pot to sit undisturbed over medium heat. -You'll hear the popcorn pop continuously for about a minute or so. I like to shake the pot occasionally
- Once the popping stops or slows drastically, then immediately take the pot off the heat. Burnt popcorn is the worst, so tend to your batch!
- Dump in large serving bowl. Add melted butter and stir now if you choose.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and paprika, or any seasonings of your choice, then toss to coat.
- Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite holiday movies cuddled up together

Notes
I prefer a 50/50 mix of white and yellow kernels from Jolly Time found at your local grocers or Rural Route 1 brand online.
Rural Route 1 White - The healthy snacking choice! Famous for its authentic corn taste, crisp whiteness, & tender texture, white is generally favored by true popcorn connoisseurs. Naturally high in fiber and low in calories!
Rural Route 1 Yellow - The healthy snacking choice! Plump, tender kernels bursting with real corn flavor is what makes yellow popcorn the most popular variety. Naturally high in fiber and low in calories!
