Seriously the BEST snack you can make for parties or holidays or just for fun! But warning- they are VERY addicting! :) *NOTE: The corn pops are in the chip isle in the grocery store. They are the puffed corn pops (not the cereal) in a large bag (about a 2 lb bag), Get the original (because there is kettle flavor also). They are not a huge name brand, I think they are made from "Circus". But any brand will be fine.

  • Cut the corn off the cob correctly: To get the best results, use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob. Cut close to the cob to get as much corn as possible.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to prevent the corn from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the corn will not cook evenly and will be mushy.
  • Cook the corn over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the corn from burning.
