Sweet Butter Puffcorn

Source of Recipe

From "Trisha's Kitchen" by Trisha Yearwood


Recipe Introduction

"This is one of those snacks that you have to taste to believe. It's so incredibly simple, but you HAVE to know about it! Almond bark is really just a chocolate-like confection that sets faster than chocolate (think candy coating or candy melts). I use the vanilla flavor in this recipe, but use the chocolate flavor if you prefer. The combination of this vanilla candy coating with the buttery puffcorn is the ultimate salty-sweet snack combo. My Oklahoma friend Marcia first made this treat for me and brought it to a Zumba class we both attended. You may need to do an extra exercise class after eating this salty-sweet goodness, but...it's worth it!"

List of Ingredients

◦� 1 one-pound package vanilla-flavored almond bark or candy coating (like Candiquick)
◦� 2 (3.5-ounce) bags butter puffcorn (I like Chester's)


Recipe

Melt the almond bark in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until completely melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

Place the puffcorn in a large bowl.
Pour the melted almond bark over the puffcorn and gently mix until the puffcorn is completely coated.

Spread the mixture over a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer and let set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Serves 8



❧ If the puffcorn is left uncovered, it will get soggy, so keep a lid on it!
