Thieves Kettle Corn

My family loves popcorn of all varieties - buttered popcorn, sweet popcorn, basil parmesan popcorn ... you get the idea. My husband and daughter love to eat it and I love that popcorn is easy to make (thanks to our Whirley Pop) and it can be fairly healthy depending on how you prepare it. Currently our favorite recipe includes a few drops of Thieves essential oil. It's sweet, salty, cinnaminy (That's a word, right?!) and delicious!



Thieves Kettle Corn:
3 TBS Coconut oil
2 TBS White Sugar
1/2 Cup Popcorn 
4 drops Young Living Thieves Essential Oil
Salt to taste

Place your Whirley Pop* over medium heat and place first four ingredients in the pot. Twirl handle slowly but continually while the oil heats and the popcorn pops. To avoid burning the sugar and scorching your popcorn, make sure you remove the pot from heat promptly when the popcorn is finished popping. Pour popcorn into a large bowl and salt to taste.

*If you don't have a Whirley Pop you can cook your popcorn in a cast iron pot with a lid or another popcorn machine. Melt coconut oil, add sugar and Thieves oil, and pour over popcorn before salting. 




It's that easy. And, did I mention it's DELICIOUS?! Yeah, okay ... I'm going to go make some now. (Seriously.)
