Notes
- You can find Puff Corn in the chip aisle!
- For the perfect caramel sauce, cook until soft ball stage. What is soft ball stage? If you drop a little caramel into cool water, it will form a ball as opposed to being stringy. Try it!
- Spray the inside of the bowl used for stirring caramel and puffed corn together for easy removal and less sticking.
- Use a sheet pan with sides for the baking stage; this keeps them from falling off.
- Stir every 15 minutes during the baking stage to prevent the caramel puffed corn from sticking together.
- Let cool completely before packaging.
- These treats go great with Cinnamon Roasted Pecans.
