Caramel Puff Corn

This snack mix definitely ties with being one of my favorite snack mixes of all time (my second favorite is the caramel chex mix). I have so many good childhood memories surrounding this snack. My Great Aunt Carol used to make it during the summer months when we went to visit her at her and Jennings cabin. It is so so tasty!!!! A must try!

Recipe from Carol and also seen on Mandy's Recipe Box

1 (9 oz.) bag Barrel O' Fun Corn Pops
Place these in a large roasting pan.

Caramel Coating:
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

Mix caramel coating ingredients in a saucepan for two minutes on med-high until bubbly around the edges. Remove from heat and add baking soda. It will foam as you stir. Pour over the puffs and stir until all are coated.
Place in a 250 degree oven and bake 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and dump onto wax or parchment paper. Break into clumps before puffs cool.
