Ingredients
- 2 (3.25-ounce) bags butter flavored puff corn (e.g., Chester’s Puffcorn)
- 1 (16-ounce) box vanilla flavored candy coating
- Sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Puff Corn: Add the puff corn to a very large pan or bowl. This helps to mix the coating evenly without spilling.
- Melt Candy Coating: Melt the vanilla flavored candy coating in the microwave according to the package instructions until completely smooth and pourable.
- Combine and Coat: Drizzle the melted candy coating over the puff corn. Quickly stir the mixture to evenly coat the puff corn before the coating sets.
- Shape and Garnish: Spread the coated puff corn out on two large sheets of wax paper in a single layer to cool and set. Add colorful sprinkles on top while still warm if desired.
- Cool and Store: Allow the mixture to cool completely until the candy coating hardens. Store in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Work quickly when mixing the coating to ensure even coverage before it hardens.
- Choose your favorite sprinkles to customize this treat for holidays or special occasions.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the crunchiness for up to one week.
