Caramel Corn Puffs are the yummiest snack ever! They are so simple to make and have the perfect combination of salty and sweet, you will be obsessed with this tasty puffed caramel corn recipe.
Caramel Corn Puff Ingredients
My mom was the one who taught me to use Corn Puffs instead of popcorn, and I have been hooked ever since! I love caramel corn but I hate that sometimes there are hard seeds in it. There it nothing worse that biting down on a piece of popcorn and finding a hard seed in it. Or getting pieces of popcorn stuck in your teeth. That’s what makes the puffs so much better. You still get that popcorn tasted with out the annoying extras that come with popcorn.
- Corn Puffs – Corn puffs can be found on the chip isle at the grocery store. There are several different brands that make them, it will just depend on what brand your store carries.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk– Is milk that has been cooked down in order to remove some of the water from it. And you guessed it sugar is added.
- Unsalted Butter – I prefer to use unsalted butter because the corn puffs usually have salt on them already.
- Brown Sugar – Is sugar with molasses. Brown sugar has more of a caramel flavor.
- Light Karo Syrup – a clear-colored syrup made by extracting sugars from cornstarch. Karo syrup is often used when making candy, caramel, frosting, and sweet sauces.
- Vanilla – If you can make one good investment to your baking, I would suggest a good quality vanilla. You wont regret it! It will add so much flavor to all of your favorite treats.
