Specialties
We take the classic sweet-and-salty kettle corn recipe and intensify it, coating every kernel of freshly popped corn with melted sugar and just the right amount of salt for a bold, satisfying crunch.
Then we take it further by mixing our signature recipe with freshly ground spices to create flavors like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Sweet & Spicy BBQ, and seasonal favorites such as Pumpkin Spice.
Our kettle corn is gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, peanut- and tree-nut-free, with no trans fats.
History

Meet the Business Owner: Danielle M.
Before starting RKC, I was a stay-at-home mom working a few days selling bread at a farmers market. When my partner and kids came to help, it became clear how meaningful that time working together was, and I realized I wanted to build something we could do as a family.
We started when my kids were young, handing out samples and talking with customers, and over the years the business has grown right alongside our family. We love being out at events, recognizing familiar faces, and having conversations with people we see again and again throughout the season.
I remember standing behind the booth at a big event, looking at the line, and realizing this was actually working - that we had built something real. Over the years, it’s become clear this business works because of the people who keep coming back, season after season. Thank you.
