– Preheat oven.– Spray a large ovenproof pan with tall sides with cooking spray.– Pour corn puffs into a large heatproof bowl, or use a large stockpot as a bowl.
– Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add corn syrup and brown sugar, stir until combined.– Increase heat to medium-high and stir frequently until the mixture starts to bubble and boil. Continue cooking.
– Remove from heat and add baking soda and stir until well combined. The mixture will foam up. Continue stirring until the color is consistent throughout.– Pour sugar mixture over corn puffs. Mix with a spoon until all pieces are coated.
– While caramel corn puffs are warm, but not hot, separate pieces and begin placing into a large bowl or place onto nonstick foil to finish the cooling process.
