Snacks
- 2 (3.25-ounce) bags butter flavored puff corn (e.g., Chester’s Puffcorn)
Candy Coating
- 1 (16-ounce) box vanilla flavored candy coating
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Puff Corn: Add the butter flavored puff corn to a very large pan or bowl, ensuring enough space to mix and coat evenly. Lay two large sheets of wax paper on the counter to prepare for spreading the coated mixture.
- Melt Candy Coating: Melt the vanilla flavored candy coating in the microwave following the package instructions, usually in short increments while stirring to avoid burning.
- Coat Puff Corn: Drizzle the melted candy coating over the puff corn. Quickly and gently stir to combine, making sure all pieces are evenly coated with the candy glaze.
- Spread and Decorate: Spread the coated puff corn out onto the wax paper in a single layer to cool and set. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired to add a festive touch.
- Cool and Store: Allow the coated puff corn to cool completely until the candy coating hardens. Store the finished product in an airtight container to keep it fresh, up to one week.
Notes
- Be sure to work quickly when mixing the melted candy coating with the puff corn as it hardens fast.
- Use wax paper or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- You can customize the recipe with different colored sprinkles for various occasions.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week for best freshness.
