Butter Candied Corn Puffs

Ingredients:

*
*1/2 cup Butter

*1/2 cup Sugar

*1 and 1/2 tablespoons Water

*1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

*2 packages 3 and 1/2 ounce Butter Puffed Corn Snacks

*1 (6 to 12 ounces) Green Candy Wafers, depending on how covered you want the Puff Corn (I used 6 ounces half a package), melted according to directions and drizzled on after baking the butter candied coating corn puffs

Directions:

In an aluminum sauce pan on medium heat add butter, sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally for 4 minutes.

In an extra-large mixing bowl sprayed with cooking spray, add the bags of butter corn puff snacks.

Pour 1/3 of the hot candy mixture over butter corn puffs stir/toss and repeat 2 more times, stirring/tossing until evenly coated. For a crunchy dry candy coating. Preheat oven 225*F. Then using two 1/2 baking sheets lined with baking mat/Silpat, divide the coated candied corn puffs and spread onto baking sheets, baking for 16 minutes, stir/toss after 8 minutes. Then remove from oven and allow to cool completely and drizzle on the melted green candy coating, lightly stir/toss. Note: I left half the batch with just the butter candy coating for a more gold look for St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy! or store in an airtight container.
