Because you don't need to pop the corn or use a candy thermometer, this caramel puff corn recipe is faster and easier than more traditional caramel corn recipes. To avoid messy cleanup, consider using a disposable aluminum roasting pan. —Caroline Monroe, Clinton, Wisconsin

Caramel Puff Corn Tips

Where can you find puff corn in the grocery store?

You can find puff corn in the snack aisle at your local grocery store, near the popcorn. Puff corn is different than popcorn: Each light and airy puff is golden yellow, with no seeds or unpopped kernels. It melts in your mouth without leaving any tidbits behind. If you want to compare caramel puff corn to a more traditional recipe, make a batch of our courtside caramel corn alongside it to see which is your favorite. Otherwise, go for one of our other flavored popcorn recipes.

How long will caramel puff corn last?

Trust us—caramel puff corn is so delicious, you are unlikely to have any leftovers. But if you are lucky enough to have some, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

When can you serve caramel puff corn?

Caramel puff corn is perfect for gifting in pretty, individual bags as edible party favors. But it’s also great for any snack buffet, whether it's movie night, game day or a simple family gathering. You could also put it on several different kids' charcuterie boards and it's sure to be a hit!
