Description

Ingredients

• 1 bag puff corn (the size of the bag may differ....I use about 5 ounces which in the brand I can find is a bag and a half)
• 1 c. brown sugar
• ½ cup butter or margarine
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• pinch salt
• ¼ tsp baking soda

Directions

• Pour puffed corn into a large bowl, make sure it is large enough that you will be able to stir the final mixture without making a huge mess
• Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla and salt in saucepan.
• Boil 2 minutes, if you want soft corn pops. (stir continually)
• Boil 4 minutes stirring continually if you want the crunchy version.
• Either way you do it, after the allotted boil time, remove from heat and stir in baking soda.
• Mixture will foam.
• Pour mixture over puffed corn and stir until all pieces are evenly coated. If you are doing the soft version that is it, you are done..Enjoy!
• If you are going for crunchy, lightly grease or spray a large cookie sheet or roaster pan.
• Heat your oven to 250 degrees
• Spread mixture onto baking sheet (you need to move fast it will start to harden up in the bowl)
• Bake at 250 for 45 minutes-1 hour stirring every 10-15 minutes
• Let cool and then break into pieces and enjoy!
