Ingredients

• 1 (8 oz.) bag Barrel O' Fun Corn Pops or Cheetos Puffed Butter Pops (both found in the chips aisle)
• ½ c. butter
• ½ c. light corn syrup
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda

Directions

1. Place Barrel O' Fun Corn Pops in a large roasting pan.
2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
3. Mix in a saucepan the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir for two minutes on med-high until bubbly around the edges.
4. Remove from heat and add baking soda. It will foam as you stir. Pour over the puffs and stir until all are coated.
5. *Place in a 250 degree oven and bake 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and dump onto wax paper. Break into clumps before puffs cool.

*Nico's Note: I do not bake them because I like them soft and chewy.
