Healthy Bacon Chipotle Kettle Corn - would've been a Grand Slam on The Chew's World Series

My favorite treat @ Chase Field isn't the Sonoran Hot Dog shown on The Chew today - it's the kettle corn. Good as it is, what I make at home is even better, has fewer calories, and way less salt, fat and sugar. If it had been in The Chew's World Series of Food, it would've been a grand slam! 


Try it & I think you'll agree.

Kicked up Guilt-free Bacon Chipotle Kettle Corn:

Making this recipe pretty much requires a WhirleyPop stove top popper. (They're pretty easy to come by if you don't already own one) 

• ¼ c popcorn kernels (160 calories) 
• 1 TBSP Coconut oil (120 calories) 
• 1 TBSP red decorator sugar (210 calories) 
• Ground Chipotle pepper (2 calories) 
• low sodium bacon salt (0)

1. Put all the ingredients into the Whirley Pop, close lid & give it a good stir. 
2. Stir continuously over high flame until the popping slows considerably. 
3. Immediately pour onto a cookie sheet then immerse the empty Whirley Pop in some hot water (if you don’t, you’ll have a devil of a time getting it clean). 
4. Let the Kettle corn cool a bit then put into bowls and enjoy! Makes 7 cups.
