This recipe goes back to when I was a kid…. I can remember my aunt making Caramel Puff Corn  and all of us just crowding around the bowl eating it. I shared this some time ago, but today I’ve rephotographed the recipe (amazing how your old blog photos shame you!) and I’m resharing it because it’s just too good to miss out on!! I haven’t had it in years, so I asked my aunt for the recipe so time ago and with her permission, I’m sharing it with you guys. So huge thanks to my Aunt Beth for supplying this recipe…if you decide to make it, it’s like crack. I’m just warning you!

caramel puff corn recipeIt’s not hard to make it and it’s SO good.

You can put it in bags as party favors, gifts, housewarming presents, and much more.

Heck, even add some candy to it if you want to mix it up a bit (although it’s like candy all on its own).caramel corn puffs

I would suggest making a big bowl of it for a Teacher Appreciation Gift or end of the year teacher gift, it’s also great for Halloween parties, baby shower favors, and more!!

ENJOY!!

    I am sitting here sending this message with tears literally in my eyes! My husband has always ADORED popcorn in general, but an ailment (diverticulitis) stole that small enjoyment from him several years ago. He will eat puff corn on occasion (his health restricts his ability to eat – anything – so it isn’t often that he can eat puff corn.) He often laments how BADLY he misses caramel corn; telling stories from childhood of how good it was and how often he and his brother enjoyed it. When I saw your email today I ALMOST deleted it without opening, since I can’t bring myself to fix something that my husband craves and misses so badly, but SOMETHING made me look. I AM SO GLAD I DID!! I will be picking up some puff corn tomorrow!!! You have made me VERY happy and tomorrow you will be fulfilling a dream at least 8 yrs in the making!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

    FYI – I made this for my children (well, maybe us parents enjoyed too) many, many years ago with popcorn. Just pop up your corn, let it cool then proceed in same manner as with the puffed corn. It is truly a fall enjoyment. Really enjoy your blog.

      I’m certain it would be great this way too…something about the hull-less popcorn really makes it great for me though–it’s a texture thing 😉
