Corn Pops Gone Wild


I've gone a little crazy for Sweet Covered Corn Pops. I'm also tired of hunting down the recipe for each kind. I can find any recipe here on the blog with my iPhone, so here they are. Aren't I organized? Boycott your New Year's resolutions and try them all. Then join me at the gym!



Sugar Pops
1 Large Bag of Corn Pops
1 lb. Butter 
2 Cups Sugar
1/4 Cup Water

In a Sauce pan, melt 1 pound of butter ---yes, that's four squares. I know, your bathroom scale is going to love this! Next add 2 heaping cups of sugar and stir over med. heat constantly until dissolved. Never leave this pan unattended! It will burn. Next add the water. Bring it to a little simmering bubbly formation. Continue to simmer and stir for 7 minuets. Place your pops in a big bowl, pour mixture over them and devour.


Some like em' Caramel crunchy, some like em' Caramel soft. Some like em' sweet. I've tried the sweet they're addicting. Going to try them crunchy and soft when I work off the sweet. Lol.You decide which way you like them. They are all delicious!

Caramel Corn Pops Soft1 (18 oz.) bag Corn Curls (pops) or Kettle Pops. Any brand will do.
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 square butter (1/4 cup)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup of light corn syrup
1 Tbsp. water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Bring butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and water to a medium boil. Stir continuously. Boil for 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Remove from heat. Add baking soda, coating will puff up. Pour over corn pops or kettle pops; toss.
Carmel Corn Pops Crunchy
One 8 oz. bag of Barrel O' Fun Corn Pops. Empty bag in large roasting pan.
Caramel Coating
Mix in 2 qt. sauce pan
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda


While mixing, cook for two minutes or until bubbly around the edges, remove from heat. Add 1 tsp. baking soda to cause foaming (this will allow for proper coating of pops). Pour caramel slurry over corn pops and stir until pops are properly coated. Place in 250 degree F. oven for approximately 45 minutes stirring every ten minutes. Remove from oven and pour onto waxed paper. Break apart to desired piece size before pops can cool.
