Ingredients
- 2 (3.25-ounce) bags butter flavored puff corn (such as Chester’s Puffcorn)
- 1 (16-ounce) box vanilla flavored candy coating
- Sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare Puff Corn: Place the puff corn into a very large pan or mixing bowl to ensure ample space for coating without crushing the puff corn.
- Melt Candy Coating: Heat the vanilla flavored candy coating in the microwave following the package instructions until it is completely melted and smooth.
- Combine and Coat: Drizzle the melted candy coating evenly over the puff corn. Quickly stir with a spatula or spoon to coat the puff corn thoroughly before the coating starts to set.
- Spread and Decorate: Lay two large sheets of wax paper on your counter. Spread the coated puff corn mixture onto the wax paper in a single, even layer. Sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top as desired for a festive touch.
- Cool and Set: Allow the coated puff corn to cool completely and set at room temperature. Once firm, break into pieces if needed.
- Store: Transfer the candied puff corn to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Use a large bowl or pan to avoid crushing the puff corn while mixing with the candy coating.
- Work quickly when coating the puff corn, as the candy coating can harden fast.
- Customize with your favorite sprinkles or omit them for a simpler version.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the puff corn crisp.
- This is a no-bake recipe, perfect for quick and easy holiday treats.
