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!

CORN PUFF CARAMEL CORN
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
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.

CARAMEL PUFFCORN
I had a taste of this recipe while taking care of an elderly couple. I think I ate the whole bag! Of course I had to have the recipe. It is delicious to bring along to a get together and so easy to make! Easy to do for a snack at the last minute too. On this batch I had extra sugar melted in the box so I added some almonds...

Steps:
- 1. In a large glass measuring cup(at least 4 cups) put sugars and butter.
- 2. Microwave for 3 minutes, stirring half way through.
- 3. Stir in Baking soda until it expands, foams and turns a lighter color. Pour over puff corn in a paper bag or cardboard box that fits in your microwave. Shake!
- 4. Microwave 45 seconds, remove and shake!
- 5. Repeat 2 more times and pour out onto freezer paper. Be careful--it is HOT!
- 6. Break apart a bit with the spatula and let it cool. Then you can break it apart a bit more.
- 7. CAUTION!!! While breaking apart the cool clusters, DO NOT TASTE! (you will eat the while batch and have to start over!)
Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the popcorn, as it will expand significantly during cooking.
- To prevent the popcorn from burning, keep the heat on medium-low and shake the pot or Dutch oven constantly.
- Once the popcorn is popped, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a large bowl.
- While the popcorn is still warm, add the melted butter and sugar and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until the caramel is set and the popcorn is golden brown.
- Let the popcorn cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Conclusion:
