Because you don't need to pop the corn or use a candy thermometer, this is faster and easier than more traditional caramel corn recipes. To avoid messy cleanup, consider using a disposable aluminum roasting pan. -Caroline Monroe, Clinton, Wisconsin

CARAMEL PUFF CORN



Caramel Puff Corn image

Puff Corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store. (The brand we have is Old Dutch, but I'm sure there are others.) Making caramel corn this way gives you great big "kernels" with no hulls or old maids. Quite addictive. Great at a party. Makes nice gifts too.

My Grandma always used to make these. Some times "Puff Corn Snacks" are hard to find, especially here in Wyoming. They are also referred to as "corn puffs", "corn curls", or "puffcorn curls". Don't confuse with cereals. I have my luck finding them in South Dakota, where I grew up. The two brands are Barrel O' Fun and Old Dutch. Enjoy!
