I wash them and preserve the usage of them without a fracture in sight. They’re so appropriate for this kind of recipe on story of their sizable aspects, plus they are gentle and easy to tackle.)

Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every ten minutes. (While you prefer, bake for approximately 50 minutes, stirring every ten minutes, and the corn will resemble cracker jacks.
