This Caramel Puff Corn may be a crazy addictive snack, good for vacation gift-giving or game day snacking! It's easier than caramel corn with all that sweet salty flavor.
Why Caramel Puff Corn is healthier than Caramel Corn:
I mean, let’s get real I’m ne'er aiming to flip down a bowl of caramel corn either however if I had to settle on, I’d select puff corn each time. The draw back is i assume it’s just about as healthy, since popcorn may be a whole grain while not different chemicals. However does one recognize anyone WHO grub caramel corn to be healthy?
Caramel Puff Corn is much easier to create as a result of you're taking out the pop and therefore the tedious act of sorting through the popped corn for all the kernels and half-popped, will-surely-mean-a-trip-to-the-dentist kernels.
Also, the puff corn features a saltier flavor, that balances out the sweetness of the caramel in a very manner that regular air-popped corn doesn't. And since i really like a sweet and salty band, I’m everywhere this. (If you favor a less salty flavor, you'll positively use regular air-popped popcorn, simply make sure to get rid of all of the kernels).
