Description

Caramel Puff Corn is a sweet, buttery snack made with puffed corn coated in homemade caramel and baked to crispy perfection — a crowd-pleasing treat for parties or gifting.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 oz) bag puff corn (butter flavored, hulless)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Lightly grease a large roasting pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the puff corn into the prepared pan and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, stop stirring and let boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in baking soda. The mixture will foam up. Quickly pour the caramel mixture over the puff corn and stir gently to coat evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use a silicone spatula to mix caramel and puff corn to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container for up to one week. You can drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled puff corn for a twist.
