Description
A fun and easy treat for Easter made with puffed corn and colorful candy melts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 340 grams candy melts in preferred pastel color (optionally divided between colors)
- 2 teaspoons butter-flavored shortening
- 113 grams puffed corn snack
- Easter-themed decorative sugar sprinkles, as needed
Instructions
- Place the puffed corn snack into a large mixing bowl, ensuring it is evenly spread and free from clumps.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the candy melts with the butter-flavored shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, thoroughly stirring after each round, until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the melted candy mixture over the puffed corn. If using more than one color, repeat this coating step for each color used.
- Stir the puffed corn gently with a spatula until every piece is well coated, or cover the bowl and shake until evenly combined.
- Spread the coated puffed corn in a single layer on wax paper. Immediately sprinkle generously with decorative Easter sprinkles.
- Allow the coated puffed corn to set on the wax paper until the coating has hardened. Transfer to an airtight container for storage once fully set.
Notes
- Make sure the puffed corn snack is fresh and free from moisture for the best results.
- Feel free to use different colors of candy melts for a more festive look!
