Caramel Puff Corn Recipe
Light and fluffy puffed corn smothered in caramel coating and baked until crispy. A great snack for anyone who loves a salty sweet treat!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces puffed corn (plain or butter flavor)
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour puff corn into a large, heat-safe bowl. Spray a large roasting pan or baking sheet with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the soda and vanilla. The soda will foam up quite a bit!
- Pour the caramel sauce over the bowl of puffcorn. Stir quickly until all the pieces are coated.
- Spread in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven at 250° for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
- Spread out on silicone liners, parchment paper, or wax paper.
- Let sit for just a few minutes until cool enough to touch. Break apart into bite sized pieces.
Notes
To test if your caramel puffcorn is done, let one piece cool. Test it to see if it's crunchy. If not, add a few more minutes.
