  • Heat the oil and pour the pop corn kernels in the oil , cover pan and turn the heat to medium high.
  • Once the popcorn starts to pop shake the pan gently with the cover on (donot ever remove the lid till you here the popping sound else it may pop up on your skin )
  • While popping slows 2-3 seconds apart, remove pan from heat and carefully transfer into a bowl .

Recipe to make Popcorn on stove Top
Assembling Pop-corn cone  :
  •  Pour in the pop corns  in a large bowl and remove any unpopped kernels.
  • If you are filling your cones with M&Ms do this now and set aside.
  • Also, if you are garnishing with sprinkles, it’s easiest to pour the sprinkles into a bowl so that you can dip your popcorn ball into them.
  • In a large pan melt butter over low heat. When melted add in marshmallows and stir until melted.
  • Pour the melted marshmallows over popcorn and stir until coated completely and evenly.
  • Immediately spray your hands lightly with cooking spray and form into 3″ balls and press gently onto the cone. You need to do this gently so the cone doesn’t break.
  • As soon as the popcorn is on the cone dip in your sprinkles.
  • Transfer to a wax paper lined counter or baking sheet to set up.
  • Individually wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
This an excellent treat for kids and they we love to
