Scale
Ingredients
- 2 (3.25-ounce) bags butter flavored puff corn (e.g., Chester’s Puffcorn)
- 1 (16-ounce) box vanilla flavored candy coating
- Sprinkles, for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Puff Corn: Place the puff corn into a very large pan or a large mixing bowl to allow ample space for coating.
- Melt Candy Coating: Follow the package instructions to melt the vanilla flavored candy coating in the microwave until smooth.
- Combine and Coat: Drizzle the melted candy coating over the puff corn. Quickly stir using a spatula or spoon to evenly coat all the puff corn pieces before the coating hardens.
- Spread and Decorate: Spread the coated puff corn mixture out in a single layer over two large sheets of wax paper laid on the counter. Add colorful sprinkles on top if desired.
- Cool and Store: Let the candy-coated puff corn cool completely until firm. Once cooled, store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh, up to one week.
Notes
- Work quickly when mixing the candy coating with the puff corn to ensure even coverage before the coating hardens.
- Using wax paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve freshness and crunch.
- This recipe is perfect for holiday parties, snack trays, or gift-giving when packaged in festive bags.
