Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
A variation to this is candy coated Puff Corn. Aunt Jeannette brought this down to Mom and Dad's and Max absolutely loved it. She used one brick of white candy coating (we always called it almond bark) to one bag of Puff Corn. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, start with one minute and then continue with 30 second intervals until it's all melted. Pour over Puff Corn in large bowl (we always used Dad's giant metal bowl) and stir until coated. Pour out onto wax paper and let set. Break into pieces and store in gallon plastic bag.
