Candied Caramel Cheeto Puffs
If you like candied caramel cheese popcorn, you will LOVE candied Cheetos! I am a Crunchy Cheeto lover so I had to throw in some of them, too and give this a try this Christmas. And spoiler alert, my daughter took a bowl of these to work and she came home empty handed!

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchments paper, and pour the Cheetos into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2
Heat corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter over medium high heat. Bring to a rolling boil stirring frequently and allow to boil for one minute. Then pour caramel mixture over the Cheetos and stir until most pieces are well coated. -
Step 3
Spread Cheetos evenly out on a lined baking sheet and place in oven for 15 minutes. Stir and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes and stir, repeating this process 2 more times for a total of 60 minutes in the oven.
Remove from oven, cool and break into pieces.
Note
This was one of those recipes that popped up out of nowhere one day when I was scrolling and I was so intrigued I had to give it a try. Thanks Heather Likes Food for posting this yummy snack!
