Ingredients

• 8 cups Bugles
• 4 cups Mini pretzels
• 2 cups Honey-roasted peanuts
• 2 cups Cheese crackers
• 0.5 cups Butter
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bugles, mini pretzels, honey-roasted peanuts, and cheese crackers. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. Let it bubble gently for about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the caramel mixture over the snack mix in the bowl. Gently toss everything together until all the pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the coated snack mix onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even coating.

Step 8

Remove the snack mix from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The caramel will harden as it cools, creating a deliciously crunchy texture.

Step 9

Once cooled, break the mix into clusters or pieces and transfer to an airtight container. Stored properly, it will stay fresh for up to a week.

Step 10

Serve the Bugle Snack Mix as a party treat, a road trip snack, or simply enjoy it anytime!
