Here is a very popular recipe for Caramel Pops:

One 8 oz. bag of Barrel O’Fun Corn Pops (place in a large roasting pan)

Caramel Coating (mix in 2 qt. sauce pan)

½ cup Butter or Margarine

½ cup Light Corn Syrup

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 tsp. Baking Soda

While mixing, cook for two minutes or until bubbly around the edges, remove from heat. Add one tsp. baking soda to cause foaming (this will allow proper coating of pops). Pour caramel slurry over corn pops and stir until pops are properly coated. Place in 250°F oven for approximately 45 minutes stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and pour onto waxed paper. Break apart (before pops can cool) to desired piece size.

KLN Family Brands Launches New Barrel O Fun Website

KLN Family Brands Announces Launch of New Websites

KLN Family Brands expands its brand awareness with the release of new media and websites.

Perham, MN – November 23, 2011  KLN Family Brands is pleased to announce the launch of two new websites designed to expand their brand awareness and expose their products to a global audience. The KLN Family Brands website is www.KLNFamilyBrands.com, replacing the former “KLN Enterprises” website. The new Barrel O’ Fun website remains at the same address, www.BarrelOFunSnacks.com, with more product information, ways to order, opportunities to get involved and an expanded social media presence. Based in Perham, Minnesota, KLN Family Brands is family-owned, founded by Kenny Nelson with Tuffy’s Pet Foods. Those founding principles remain today, even though the company has expanded to create and distribute numerous brands and products.

KLN Family Brands is the owner of Barrel O’ Fun snack foods, Tuffy’s pet foods and Kenny’s Candy. Barrel O’ Fun includes a variety of snack foods from potato chips to popcorn, with a variety of flavors not found in other brands. Tuffy’s pet foods include one of the top premium pet food brands in the country called “NutriSource”. Kenny’s Candy manufactures one of the top selling licorice products with their Wiley Wallaby brand, a favorite everywhere it is sold.

Charlie Nelson, Director of Sales and Marketing, of KLN Family Brands states, “We are excited about the opportunities to expand our brand awareness and inform the world of all that we offer in snack foods, candies and pet foods.”  KLN Family Brands will be launching several new brands and product lines throughout 2012, with a continued increase in the use of social media and marketing. Family-owned businesses may be on the decline but the Nelson family businesses are poised for growth. These new websites demonstrate their commitment to quality, community and success.
