🍿 Coyote Droppings Caramelized Cheetos 🧀 Sweet, salty, and irresistibly crunchy—a unique treat your family won't stop snacking on! 🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️ - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 🧂 - 15 ounces Cheetos puffs 🧀 - 1 cup butter 🧈 - 2 cups brown sugar 🍬 - 1/4 cup white corn syrup 🍯 🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳 1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 250°F. Grease a large cookie sheet (10x15 or bigger) with butter. For even better results, use a roasting pan to keep those Cheetos from flying everywhere when stirred. 2️⃣ Pour the Cheetos puffs into a large mixing bowl, and set aside. 3️⃣ In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and white corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches a steady boil. Let it boil for 5 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. 4️⃣ Remove the caramel mixture from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly—this is normal and makes the caramel extra light and crunchy. 5️⃣ Immediately pour the caramel over the Cheetos, tossing gently to coat every puff. Spread the caramelized Cheetos onto the prepared pan in an even layer. 6️⃣ Bake the Cheetos at 250°F for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes during baking to ensure an even coat of caramel on all sides. 7️⃣ Once baked, transfer the Cheetos to waxed paper, foil, or freezer paper. Quickly separate the puffs to prevent clumping while they cool down. 8️⃣ Allow them to cool completely. Store the caramelized Cheetos in large ziplock bags or airtight containers. Be warned—they disappear faster than you can imagine! 🍎 Nutritional Information 🍎 - Calories: ~160 per serving - Carbohydrates: 20g - Fats: 9g - Proteins: 1g - Sodium: 150mg (Nutritional values approximate and may vary based on exact portion sizes.) 💡 Tips and Tricks 💡 - For the perfect crunch, avoid overmixing when combining the caramel and Cheetos.
