Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
3 Baking Sheet

Ingredients

20 ounces vanilla flavored almond bark 567 grams (⅚ of a 24-ounce package)
8 ounces plain or butter-flavored corn puffs 227 grams (1 package) - SEE NOTE
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

Line 3 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment or wax paper; set aside.
Melt the almond bark in a clean, large, microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes. Stir the almond bark every 15 seconds until melted.
20 ounces vanilla flavored almond bark
Pour the corn puffs into a huge bowl and pour the melted almond bark over the top. Use two rubber spatulas to “toss” the corn puffs until evenly coated.
8 ounces plain or butter-flavored corn puffs
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets – spread out the corn puffs as much as possible. Sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt. Many of the Candied Corn Puffs will be stuck together, so let them dry for about 10 minutes and separate into individual pieces.
Coarse sea salt
Let the corn puffs dry completely, about 1 hour, and place in an airtight container to store.

Notes

Puffed Corn: You can use plain or butter-flavored puffed corn for this recipe; a common brand to look for is Chester's Puffcorn.
If you can't find almond bark, you can use an equal amount of white melting chocolate wafers!
Use parchment! Parchment paper is going to save you so much mess and unnecessary clean-up. No one wants to scrub a sheet pan full of dried on caramel.
Don't forget to stir the almond bark between melting it in the microwave.
Stirring the puffed corn helps to make sure that all pieces are evenly coated and that they all dry accordingly.
Store in an airtight container to avoid fogginess!

Storage: Store candied corn puffs snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
