BUGLE CONES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until crumbly. Beat in salt and vanilla. Add milk and mix well (mixture will be stiff)., Shape into 1/2-in. balls. Place one ball on top of each Bugle. Dip tops of some or all in melted chocolate if desired. Decorate with sprinkles and/or nuts.

FIVE MINUTE CARAMEL BUGLES

Steps:

• Measure Bugles. Set aside.
• Line baking sheet with wax paper.
• Add butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a large microwavable bowl. Microwave one minute. Stir. Continue to microwave in 30 second intervals until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add baking soda and stir until combined.
• Add Bugles to butter mixture. Microwave in one minute increments, stirring after each minute. Microwave for a total of three minutes.
• Pour Bugle mixture onto wax paper.
• Put semisweet chocolate chips in a snack size seal-able bag. Leave the bag unsealed and microwave for two minutes, at half power. Seal bag and kneed until chocolate chips are completely melted. Snip a small triangle off the corner or the bag and drizzle over Caramel Bugles.
• Repeat with white chocolate chips.

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). Here is a link http://www.orientaltrading.com/christmas-candy-corn-a2-_K2000.fltr * Use your imagination. You can make it as simple or add any variety of nuts, candy, etc., that you want for a snack that is great anytime.
