Caramel Corn Puffs

I usually use this recipe to make regular caramel corn but I happened to have these little corn puffs on hand so I used them instead. They both work really well.

Caramel Corn Puffs

1 (15 oz.) bag butter flavored corn puffs

2 c. packed brown sugar

2 sticks butter

1/2 c. light corn syrup

1 t. baking soda

Pour corn puffs into a paper grocery bag. (You can use a bowl if you have one big enough, but I don't!)

In a heavy saucepan mix brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and vigorously stir in baking soda. It will foam up like this:

Pour caramel mixture over corn puffs and mix until evenly coated.

Spread into 2 cookie sheets. Bake at 200 F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Immediately dump corn puffs onto aluminum foil to cool completely, then transfer to a bowl.

This makes a TON so it's great for large groups or family events. Enjoy!
