“We absolutely love Best Darn Kettlecorn! It’s our go-to gift for just about every occasion—work gifts, care packages for college kids, and especially at Christmas time when we send it to family across the country. The flavors are incredible—my personal favorite is the Cinnamon Bun Surprise, and the White Cheddar is a family favorite too. Always fresh, always delicious, and always a hit. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely Addictive! Best Darn Kettle Corn truly lives up to its name! Their kettle corn is hands-down the best I’ve ever had—perfectly sweet, salty, and crunchy. But the real star for me is their cheddar cheese popcorn. It’s rich, flavorful, and totally addictive—I seriously can’t get enough! Every bite is fresh and packed with bold, cheesy goodness. If you're a popcorn lover, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!”

“Full disclosure, I never leave reviews, good or bad. I typically give feedback in person or not at all. But after trying (actually binging on) Best Darn KC, I felt obligated to leave a review letting everyone know just how good it is! They have everything you could want as far as flavors and choices go, and both their popcorn and customer service are undoubtedly 5 star!!! I will definitely be returning for myself and for future gifts!!! ️ ️ ️ ️ ️”

Gourmet Kettlecorn

Here at Best Darn Kettlecorn, we pride ourselves on making our kettlecorn, as well as all of our other gourmet popcorn flavors, with the highest quality ingredients and the perfect ratio of salty to sweet. We are a local business based in Bristol, PA that has been dedicated to serving our community since 2004.

Our original gourmet kettlecorn is made fresh with gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients — though it is produced in a kitchen that also handles wheat, so it is not suitable for coeliac disease. We offer flavors that satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. There are options for those that like to keep it simple; or, if you’re a little on the wild side, we have an ever-expanding array of bold flavors to match. We’ve combined sweet snacks with salty treats and spicy foods with cool dressings. Whether you are a chocoholic, a lover of savory treats, or an old-fashioned salt and butter kind of person, we’ve got just what you’re looking for. Just imagine the reaction your taste buds will have when you’ve experienced this explosion of flavor in your mouth.

What is Kettlecorn?

A lip-smackin’ combination of salty and sweet, kettlecorn is a variety of popcorn made with granulated sugar, salt and oil. Kettlecorn is popped in big iron kettles — thus, its name. It is said that Dutch settlers in Pennsylvania introduced kettlecorn to the American colonies in the 1700s. After a hard day of farming, they would heat leftover corn kernels with lard in large cast iron kettles, followed by adding honey, molasses, or sugar to sweeten their freshly popped treat.

Though we now use pure corn oil instead of lard, we think the Dutch settlers would be proud of our old-fashioned kettlecorn! Plus, we’ve “gone modern,” too; In addition to our original kettlecorn, you can now buy dozens of mouth-watering gourmet popcorn flavors, including caramel, cheeses, cinnamon, chocolate, and many more!
