A: Puffcorn is a corn-based snack similar to popcorn but without the kernels or hulls. It’s light, crunchy, and perfect for coating in caramel.
Q: Can I use popcorn instead?
A: You can, but make sure to remove any unpopped kernels — nobody likes a chipped tooth! The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
