Halloween Candy Corn And Bugles Mix Recipes

HALLOWEEN CANDY CORN AND BUGLES MIX

Steps:

• Combine peanuts, mini pretzel sticks, Bugles, Candy Corn and 1 package of Vanilla chips.
• Mix well and pour out on a wax paper or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Spread out.
• Melt the other package of Vanilla chips in a microwave. Put microwave on high for 1 minute; Remove from microwave and stir. Return to microwave and continue melting for 30 second intervals; stirring after each 30 seconds, until melted.
• Drizzle melted Vanilla baking chips over entire mixture of nuts, pretzels, bugles, Vanilla chips and Candy Corn. Let mixture set until melted chips drizzle is no longer soft.
• Break up and put in baggies or in a large bowl; plastic or glass pumpkin container; or other container.
• This is a good treat sealed in plastic baggies for trick or treaters (whose parents know you) -young and not so young. I like to put it in a pumpkin shaped container for others to help themselves and enjoy.
• Variations: * I sometimes use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the vanilla; or I may use 1 bag of the chocolate chips in the mix and use 1 bag of the vanilla chips for the drizzle. * Replace the candy corn (or add to the mix leaving in the candy corn) with M&Ms or mini jellybeans; also you can use mellowcremes, which are like candy corn, but different shapes. * Chocolate covered raisins are a very good addition. * Use any kind of nuts (pecans, cashews, almonds, etc.) in place of the peanuts -or use a mixture of nuts. * During Christmas-time, you can purchase red, green and white candy corn(from Oriental Trading year around -or in stores during the season).

You can make it as simple or add any variety of nuts, candy, etc., that you want for a snack that is great anytime.
