These caramel corn puffs should come with a warning. It would say warning: this treat is highly addictive and delicious, and you will not be able to stop eating this. I wish I was kidding. Sometimes, I have to hide this from everyone (including myself) so that it isn’t devoured in the first 2 hours of me making it.

This recipe comes together with simple ingredients in less than 30 minutes. The light, airy puffs are coated in a homemade buttery caramel sauce. I have found that they are the perfect treat for holidays, parties, or even gifting! These babies are definitely a crowd pleaser!
