Caramel Puffed Corn
- 1 bag (8 to 9 ounces) puff corn
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Spray a large roaster with cooking spray. Pour puff corn into large bowls or a roaster.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup and mix well. Add a pinch of salt. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for additional 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla extract; the mixture will foam and expand. Carefully pour syrup over puff corn and toss to mix.
