Addictive Caramel Corn Puffs

Addictive Caramel Corn Puffs

2 sticks butter
2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. Karo (light)
1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 package Cheetos butter flavored corn puffs

In a large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar and Karo to a boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla, salt and baking soda. (This will cause the mixture to bubble up.) Pour the corn puffs into a large bowl. Pour the mixture over the corn puffs and stir until well coated. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Turn and stir every 15 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire cooling rack. To store, place in a sealed air tight container.

side note: if you prefer a more chewy caramel corn to the crunchy just skip the cooking @ 250 degrees step. I usually only cook mine for 30 minutes. (2 - 15 minutes sessions)

Enjoy, but please use with caution. This is extremely addictive.
