Throw together candy corn and peanuts for the quickest snack ever this fall season! This Candy Corn Crunch tastes just like a PAYDAY candy bar!
Have I mentioned I do not like candy, with the exception of chocolate? Although, offer me chocolate M&M's and I will turn them away. UNLESS...they are hidden in trail mix, cookies or some sort of bigger dessert. Then I'll eat them until my belly hurts!
The same goes for candy corn. Ewww. I can't stand it on its own, but throw in some salty roasted peanuts with it and I can't get enough! Our friends introduced this combination to us a few years ago and we have been obsessed every year since! Probably the easiest "recipe" you'll ever find on here! 🙂

Guess what I saw at the store today! Candy Corn Crunch! Identical to what you have posted here. I actually bought it because it was only 20 cents more than the bag of candy corn by itself and I figured I didn't need that much candy corn. (The premixed is very heavy on the peanuts).

April,
Wow! I didn't even know the technical name for it and just made up "Candy Corn Crunch." Guess I was right on target! 🙂

I go CRAZY for this stuff...I'm running a marathon Sunday and to motivate myself I haven't yet bought candy corn yet...but I will when I cross that finish line 🙂

now throw in some pretzels.
i've never had it with peanuts, but pretzels offer the same salty contrast. and they are whole wheat 🙂

YUM! This post is NOT fair! I love candy corn! I buy it every year but only ever eat a few bites of it. Now I totally have to "make" this "recipe" and I'm sure i'll be like you with a big belly ache at the end of it!
