Almond Bark Puff Corn Recipes

PANDORA'S BOX

Steps:

• Microwave the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the puffcorn in a large mixing bowl or giant resealable bag (like a sweater storage bag). Pour the melted almond bark over the puffcorn and mix or shake to completely coat.
• Spread the mixture out onto parchment paper or in a single layer in the resealable bag to set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container. If left uncovered for too long, the puffcorn will get soggy. Lasts about 5 minutes!

CHOCOLATE-COVERED CARAMEL CORN

Steps:

• Place 1 bag popcorn in the microwave; cook on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bags. Open bags carefully; divide popcorn between 2 shallow baking dishes. Mix in peanuts.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine brown sugar, margarine, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring enough to blend. Simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in vanilla extract and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy.
• Pour brown sugar mixture over the popcorn-peanut mixture; stir to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 25 minutes, until a cooled piece of popcorn is crunchy, about 1 hour.
• Line a flat work surface with waxed paper. Pour popcorn onto the waxed paper. Break up any large clusters.
• Melt chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a resealable plastic bag; snip off 1 corner. Drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn. Let popcorn cool completely.

CANDIED ALMOND BARK POPCORN

Steps:

• Place packaged popcorn in the microwave; cook on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Pour popcorn into a large bowl. Remove any unpopped kernels.
• Place almond bark in a saucepan and melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly so it does not burn on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Pour melted almond bark over popcorn and stir to coat evenly. Pour out onto a baking sheet to cool.

CONFETTI PUFFED CORN

Steps:

• Place almond bark into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until melted, about 4 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
• Place puffed corn into a large bowl and pour smooth and melted almond bark on top. Toss puffed corn to evenly distribute almond bark.
• Distribute the colored sprinkles evenly over the puffed corn. Allow to cool before storing.

ANGEL POOP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Place the white chocolate chips into a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat on low power for 30-second intervals until the chocolate chips have begun to melt.
• Stir the chips until smooth.
• Pour the corn puff snacks into the bowl with the white chocolate, and stir to coat the puffs with the chocolate.
• Spread the mixture out onto the waxed paper-lined baking sheet and allow to set, about 30 minutes.
• Break the mixture up into bite-size pieces to serve.
