Styrofoam

Sounds appetizing doesn't it? That is what my kids call it, but the recipe I got from my friend actually calls it Corn Puff Treats. This is one of our favorite camping snacks and I take it occasionally to big parties because everyone always loves it. It takes quite a while to cool though, so be sure to make it plenty of time in advance.
1 1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. Karo Syrup, light
1 1/2 T water
1 bag of Corn Puffs
In a medium saucepan, bring the first 4 ingedients to a boil stirring constantly. Boil for 3-4 minutes. Pour a large bag of Corn Puffs into a large bowl. Pour cooked mixture over and stir well to coat cereal. Let cool. Break up if needed. Yummy!
I tried to Google a picture of the bag you need to look for but didn't find anything online. They are not in all stores and sometimes they are by the cereal but most often I find them with the chips. The bag is large like the big cereal you buy in a bag, but I'm not sure how many ounces are in it. I'll look next time I'm at the store and fix my post. The bag is red and yellow I think.

  1. I used to eat these salty puffs when I was a kid. I have never seen them coated in candy. Must come out like kettle corn?
