 I have a memory of my mom making this when I was a kid and everyone going daffy over it. Not sure why I was the only one I didn’t like it but wanted to include on here so that they can be shared with others.  I am not sure what Geiser’s corn pops are versus Kellogg’s corn Pops.

When bubbly, add Instr in baking soda. One for me, pour over corn pops in large bowl and mixUntil thoroughly coded. Put on two cookie sheets and bake for one hour at 200°.
