Ingredients

You’ll need two simple ingredients to make this Almond Bark Puffcorn!

Puff Corn – I like Chesters butter flavor
Almond Bark – I prefer vanilla almond bark wafers vs almond bark brick or bar. Wafers are smaller and melt faster and more evenly.
Sprinkles – optional

What is puff corn?

Puffcorn has the same light, puffy, and airy texture as cheese puffs.
Almost melts in your mouth.
Tastes similar to regular popcorn, but has a completely different texture.
Comes in different flavors; original, butter, and cheese.

Where to Buy Puffcorn?

You can buy puff corn at your local grocery store. Look for it in the chips aisle.

Some stores have a generic brand or their own brand, such as Great Value. I feel like it’s worth it to spend a little more on Chester’s because the flavor is better and the pieces are bigger.

White Chocolate vs Almond Bark

You might be wondering if you can use white chocolate chips instead of almond bark.

Yes, you can. You can either use 100% almond bark, 100% white chocolate chips, or 50% white chocolate chips and 50% almond bark. Using all white chocolate chips will be thicker making it a little harder to coat the puff popcorn.

Ingredients- White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. Almond bark is made with vegetable fats (no almonds)
Purpose- White chocolate is to be used when it doesn’t need to be melted, such as cookies, cheesecakes, etc. Almond bark is ideal to use as a coating because it melts well.
Taste- White chocolate is creamier and richer. Almond bark is thinner and less rich.
Interchangeable- Most of the time white chocolate and almond bark are interchangeable. Almond bark is ideal to use as a coating.

Decorate – Add sprinkles before the white chocolate hardens.

Tips for Success

Some people find it easier to coat the puff corn if they drizzle the melted chocolate over the puffcorn. I like adding the puff corn to the melted chocolate so I only have to wash one bowl! Be sure to use a large bowl!

Pour the bag of puffcorn into a big bowl. Pour half of the melted chocolate over the corn puffs. Stir. Pour the other half of the melted bark over the puffcorn. Stir.

Variations

It’s fun to switch this recipe up for different holidays, a baby shower, or parties!

Add festive holiday candies
Sprinkle with crushed candy canes
Flavored extracts such as peppermint extract, orange, raspberry
