Full disclosure, I got this recipe from a friend, who got it from a friend, who got the recipe on allrecipes I think. We were over at her house for dinner in early December and for dessert she brought out a little bowl of this unassuming treat. Well. I’m just going to say that the little bowl didn’t stand a chance. Also, I apologize in advance because you now have a new obsession that will be hard to control.

What Makes This Different From Caramel Corn?

Well, ultimately the difference is that you used Puffed Corn instead of popcorn. AND the Puffed Corn is already buttered and salted, so you’re taking an already delicious snack and turning it into something even better. Plus, not corn kernels to get stuck in your teeth, so that’s a plus!

What Ingredients Do You Need for Caramel Puff Corn?

Butter Flavored Puffcorn. This is kind of like Pirate’s Booty in texture, but of course not cheesy! Butter: Use Salted. This is a sweet and salty snack, so salted butter works perfect! Light Brown Sugar: The sauce that you make for this snack is essentially a butterscotch sauce, since you are using brown sugar instead of granulated. Trust me, it’s so good! Light Corn Syrup. I used Karo brand, but I am sure any brand is fine! Baking Soda. This creates a softer texture in the caramel sauce by creating tiny bubbles!

Tips For Success:

This is a very simple recipe, but I’m going to give you a few tips to make sure your snack comes out perfect. This will be the hit of your next party for sure!

Make sure you’re using a very large baking sheet. This recipe makes a large amount of Caramel Puffcorn, and to bake it you will need plenty of surface area to ensure it gets crunchy. If you don’t have a 15×21 baking sheet (half sheet pan) split the corn up onto 2 smaller baking sheets to bake. You want to make sure that the puffcorn is in a single layer as much as possible. Otherwise it won’t get as crispy if you overfill the pan. Also it will make it a lot easier if your baking sheet has sides, so when you stir the mix it will stay on the sheet! You will bake this for about 50 minutes, but you will want to stir it every 10 minutes. This will ensure that all the pieces are coated with the sauce and that your puffcorn will be baked evenly and crunchy!
