​ABOUT THIS RECIPE
"Puff Corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store. (The brand we have is Old Dutch, but I'm sure there are others.) Making caramel corn this way gives you great big "kernels" with no hulls or old maids. Quite addictive. Great at a party. Makes nice gifts too."

INGREDIENTS
1 (8 ounce) bags puff corn
1 cup butter (do not substitute)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS

• Place puff corn in a large roaster pan.
• In 2 quart sauce pan bring the butter, sugar & corn syrup to bring to boil, then cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the baking soda- this will cause the caramel mixture to foam up.
• Stir well and remove from heat.
• Pour over puff corn in roaster and bake in 250* oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, spread out onto wax paper to cool.

Fun and Yummy Halloween Oreo Balls

What a fun easy project to do with your kids or grandkids…
4 adorable and festive Halloween Oreo Balls — monsters, pumpkins, bats, and mummies; each made with 5 ingredients or less!
 
Author: Chelseas Messy Apron
Serves: 20





INGREDIENTS:

• 1 package (16 ounces) regular Oreos
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 bag (12 ounces) Candy Melts
• 18-20 Large Edible eyes

Refer to the link for individual versions: http://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/5-ingredient-halloween-oreo-truffles/
 

• Pulse the full oreos (no need to separate cream from cookie) in a food processor or blender until it is in crumbs.
• Using a hand held mixer, beat the Oreos and cream cheese together until well combined.
• Roll the mixture into balls.
• Chill the balls, covered tightly, for an hour in the fridge.
• Once the balls are chilled, melt the candy melts according to package directions. (This is technically another ingredient, but you may need a teaspoon (or a few) of vegetable oil to get the chocolate thin enough to dip in. Every chocolate is a little different so if needed, I'll just add the oil slowly until it coats the oreo truffles well.)
• Place a ball on a fork and then spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the ball. Tap the fork holding the ball to remove excess chocolate.
• Slide the ball carefully onto parchment paper and immediately (it hardens quickly) press and hold an edible eye into the center.
• Sprinkle the sprinkles on top of the ball.
• Allow to dry.

 
NOTES
Cook time refers to chilling time.
