Looking for party food ideas? This easy recipe combines funfetti cake batter and puffcorn to make a treat that would be fun to serve!

Funfetti Cake Batter Puffcorn

What is it about sprinkles that make people happy? Maybe it is the memory of childhood parties and sweet treats. Or maybe the mix of bright, cheerful colors is enough to bring on the smiles.

Whatever the reason, sprinkles are just plain fun. So, I combined puffcorn and funfetti cake mix to make this treat using the same idea as making puppy chow or muddy buddies.

thermometer measuring temp of cake mix

The first thing you’ll need to do it heat the cake mix since you shouldn’t consume raw flour. You can heat in it in the microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until it reaches 160˚F.

Or heat the cake mix in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it reaches 160˚F.

Puffcorn with melted white chocolate

Put 10 cups of puffcorn into a large bowl. Melt white chocolate melting wafers in the microwave following the directions on the package. Stir in shortening, pour over puffcorn and stir to coat.

Funfetti Cake Batter

Sprinkle powdered funfetti cake mix over the puffcorn and stir to coat.

Funfetti popcorn with sprinkles

Add additional sprinkles, if desired. Spread the funfetti cake batter puffcorn on a piece of waxed paper to cool and set.

When I posted my peanut butter puffcorn recipe, I was surprised at how many people didn’t know what puffcorn is. Where I live in Minnesota, it is sold everywhere from Target & Walmart to the grocery store and even at the gas stations. Here are a couple of brands’ pages that you can check out to see if it is sold in your area:  http://www.olddutchfoods.com/products#/puffcorn andhttp://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/chesters-butter-puffcorn.html

    I have never heard of puffcorn, and so I have never noticed it before but will have to check out the store next time I go, is it sold with chips or more like the popcorn snack aisle?
