Special Notes

This sweet and crunchy snack is perfect for parties. The combination of caramel and puff corn creates a unique texture. The key is to not overcook the caramel to prevent it from becoming hard. This snack can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For extra flavor, you can add different spices or nuts. The puff corn should be completely cool before storing to prevent it from becoming soft.
