I like kettle corn, but not if it’s too sweet.  The microwaveable kettle corn packets are way too sweet for my liking.  The ones you get at fairs have the right balance of sweetness and saltiness.  When I found this easy recipe for honey butter popcorn, it reminded me of kettle corn with that perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.

It would be a great snack for a movie night.  Make some honey kettle corn, and then watch a movie.
