Today I am making Carmel Corn with Old Dutch Puffcorn. About 7 years ago I lived on this stuff during the Christmas season while I was working overnights to set Christmas decorations at Target! Ah memories. I don't miss working the graveyard shift and I really don't miss drinking Monster Energy drinks to stay awake! But this is a tradition that I want to keep.
This recipe comes straight from the back of the Old Dutch Puffcorn package.
Carmel Corn -Old Dutch Style
~1 package Old Dutch Puffcorn
~1 cup butter
~1 1/4 cups brown sugar
~2/3 cup light corn syrup
~1 tsp. baking soda
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Combine butter, brown sugar and light corn syrup in a 2 quart sauce pan, cook on medium heat until mixture has melted. Once mixture has melted add the baking soda. (Note: This will cause the mixture to foam.)
Pour Old Dutch Puffcorn into a large roaster pan. Pour caramel mixture over the puffcorn and stir until mixed.
Place in oven at 250 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes. Please pay close attention at this time as oven temperature variance may affect final product.
Remove from oven, pour on wax paper and break apart. Let cool and enjoy.
Make sure not to over bake this as it does get hard to eat. It's best when its extra gooey in my opinion. I only baked mine for 38 min. and it is perfect! Very easy to make and a great addition on a holiday movie night that the whole family can enjoy! Or a great treat to snack on while wrapping Christmas gifts!
