DEE'S VERSION OF PUFFCORN CARAMEL CORN
THIS MAKES A LARGE AMOUNT..ABOUT 2 - 1 GALLON ZIP BAGS FULL, BUT IT GOES FAST IN OUR HOUSE AND MY FRIENDS LOVE IT SO I MAKE ENOUGH TO SHARE. SINCE IT BAKES FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH STIRRING EVERY 20 MINUTES, I ALWAYS MAKE A BIG BATCH ALL AT ONCE.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 250°F. Spray 2 large aluminum turkey roaster pans with cooking spray. Pour 2 1/2 Bags puff corn into each pan. In a 4 quart saucepan over medium heat, add butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla extract; the mixture will foam and expand. stir until evenly mixed and foamy. Carefully pour syrup over puff corn and keep stirring with a large long handled spoon to cover all pieces of puffcorn.
- 2. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring well every 20 minutes. After 1 hour, leave a few caramel pieces out to sample when they cool they should be crunchy. If not, bake another 15 minutes. Let Caramel Puff Corn cool at least 30 minutes in pan stirring every 5 minutes so it cools without sticking together. Store in an air tight container.
- 3. I find when you are making a large batch like this it is much easier and the pieces get coated better if you have another person to stir one pan while you do the other. I am usually making it alone tho so some pieces don't get coated as well before the syrup starts cooling off.
- 4. **NOTE: BE SURE TO READ THE PKGS OF PUFFCORN AND THAT YOU ONLY USE PLAIN OR BUTTER FLAVORED BCUZ THE CHEESE ONES ARE NOT GOOD FOR THIS RECIPE.**
PUFFED CARAMEL CORN
Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store. This is a great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!

Steps:
- Pop your popcorn in an air popper machine. My machine only allows 1/2 cup of kernels at a time so I had two separate batches that I had to pop.
- Cook the brown sugar, Karo syrup, and 1/2 cup of butter over the stove on medium high heat and bring to a boil.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir continually for about 3 to 4 minutes until it gets to the soft ball stage (it clings together when you drop some in cold water). It will burn if you cook it too long, so make sure you are stirring continuously and watch it closely.
- When it is finished cooking, take your pan off the stove and pour the caramel sauce over your air popped popcorn. Mix until all the popcorn is completely coated. You will need a very large bowl to mix it all together.
