Kettle corn's salty-sweet flavor and enticing scent evoke rose-colored memories of county fairs and carnivals. That's certainly the case for Michelle, who founded Ma N Pa Kettle Corn with her husband years after getting her first taste in Branson, MO. They pop the classic treat in cast-iron kettles before selling it by the bag or tin. Along with the classics, they put their own spin on the treat, introducing gourmet flavors such as tutti frutti, french toast, chili, and chocolate-covered cherry. Perhaps the most popular, however, is the perennial Chicagoland favorite: a blend of caramel and cheddar corn.
