There’s actually a funny story behind this one. A few years ago I went to a women’s night at church where my friend Maria brought this amazing caramel corn. Everyone kept calling it “Maria’s recipe” and I assumed maybe it was a special family recipe. The next day I messaged her asking if it was “top secret” or if she’d be up for sharing it with me? She laughed when she told me it’s printed right on the bag of puff corn! So she shared her “secret” recipe with me by telling me to go and pick up a bag and read the back!

Anyways, this has become one of our family’s favorites, and if your brand of puff corn doesn’t have the recipe on the back I’ll share it with you! Or maybe you’ve just never looked for it like I never had!How to Make Caramel Puff Corn

      Old Dutch, but that’s just what they sell locally. It comes in a blue bag. Now you’ve got me craving it!!

      Oh no! I actually just made it yesterday following these same instructions and it turned out great. For some reason though when I cook it in our lower oven it burns easier, in our upper oven it cooks perfectly. Maybe try shorter increments, like 5-10 minutes stirring in between?

    My family and friends couldn’t get enough of this recipe.
    I actually made 8 batches for the holidays.
    I think a litt of peeps were making it as well, cuz I couldn’t find the puffed corn anywhere. I finally found one morning and wiped out the store.
    (10 bags) lol

      Awesome. Our family loved it too! Eight batches!! Wow! Too bad the puff corn was hard to find. I also wiped out our store by purchasing only two bags!
