Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (150 grams / 5.3 oz) Bugles snacks
- 1 cup (175 grams / 6.2 oz) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (50 grams / 1.8 oz) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (40 grams / 1.4 oz) toffee bits
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cinnamon Sugar Preparation: Thoroughly blend granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, ensuring uniform mixture. Set aside for final coating.
- Chocolate Melting: Combine white chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt using short 20-second intervals, stirring consistently until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Coating Process: Pour molten white chocolate over Bugles in a large mixing bowl, gently folding to ensure complete and even coverage. Immediately sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture across chocolate-coated Bugles, rotating bowl to distribute topping evenly.
- Setting and Cooling: Spread chocolate-covered Bugles in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow to set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until chocolate hardens completely.
- Storage and Serving: Transfer fully crystallized Churro Toffee Bugles to a serving dish or airtight container. These crispy, sweet treats are now ready to be enjoyed immediately or stored for later consumption.
Notes
- Prevent Chocolate Clumping: Melt white chocolate slowly and stir consistently to avoid seizing or burning, ensuring a smooth, glossy coating that evenly embraces each Bugle.
- Achieve Crisp Texture: Let Bugles cool completely at room temperature to maintain their signature crunch, avoiding condensation that could make them soggy when refrigerated.
- Customize Spice Level: Adjust cinnamon-sugar ratio to personal preference, starting with a balanced 1:4 ratio and experimenting to find your ideal sweet-spicy profile.
- Storage Strategy: Keep Churro Toffee Bugles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain optimal texture.
