Tips:

  • Use fresh popping corn: Fresh popcorn will produce larger, fluffier kernels, resulting in a better caramel corn puff.
  • Use a large pot: The caramel mixture will expand as it cooks, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
  • Stir the caramel mixture constantly: Stirring the caramel mixture constantly will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: Overcooking the caramel will make it hard and brittle, so be careful not to let it cook for too long.
  • Add the popcorn to the caramel mixture immediately: Once the caramel is cooked, add the popcorn to the pot immediately and stir to coat. This will help to prevent the caramel from hardening and becoming difficult to mix.
  • Spread the caramel corn puffs out on a baking sheet: Once the caramel corn puffs are coated, spread them out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent them from clumping together.
  • Store the caramel corn puffs in an airtight container: Caramel corn puffs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
