Description

Churro Toffee Bugles are an irresistible sweet-and-salty snack inspired by churros and toffee. Crunchy Bugles are coated in buttery brown sugar toffee, baked until golden, tossed with cinnamon sugar, and optionally finished with a white chocolate drizzle—perfect for parties, gifting, or snacking anytime you crave a deliciously playful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Bugles Base

  • 1 (7.5 oz) bag original Bugles

Toffee Coating

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Optional Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Prepare Bugles: Pour the Bugles into a large mixing bowl and set them aside, ready to be coated with the toffee mixture.
  3. Make Toffee Coating: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar and salt, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the toffee with flavor.
  5. Coat the Bugles: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the Bugles in the mixing bowl. Gently toss with a spatula or spoon to make sure each Bugle is evenly coated.
  6. Bake: Spread the coated Bugles in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, which helps set the toffee and adds crunch.
  7. Make Cinnamon Sugar: While the Bugles are baking, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and mix well.
  8. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the Bugles from the oven and, while they are still warm, generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over them. Toss or stir gently to coat evenly. Allow the Bugles to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  9. Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If using, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Bugles, then let the chocolate set before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Store cooled Bugles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can double the cinnamon sugar mixture if you prefer a thicker coating.
  • Microwave the white chocolate at low power to avoid scorching.
  • Great for parties, holiday gifts, or game day snacks.
