Ingredients

  • 3 qt Bugles Corn Snacks
  • 3 cups Pecans
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F.
  • Toss the Bugles and pecans into a big, shallow roasting pan.
  • Warm the pan in the oven while you get the caramel started on the stove.
  • Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a saucepan.
  • Stir over medium heat until it starts to boil.
  • Let that mixture boil for five minutes; don’t stir.
  • Take it off the heat, then stir in vanilla and baking soda.
  • Pour the hot caramel over your Bugles and pecans.
  • Stir gently so everything gets coated.
  • Bake for an hour, giving it a good stir every fifteen minutes to keep the coating glossy and even.
  • Let it cool just a bit, break it apart by hand, and let it finish cooling before you stash it away.
