Churro Bugles

• 1 (14.5 ounce) bag Bugles chips
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

• ½ cup sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the Bugles snack.
2. Arrange Bugles: Spread the Bugles chips evenly in a roasting pan or large baking sheet to allow uniform coverage and baking.
3. Make Cinnamon Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to boil, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld.
4. Coat Bugles: Pour the warm cinnamon butter mixture over the Bugles chips and stir thoroughly until all chips are fully coated with the glaze.
5. Bake: Place the coated Bugles into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking and coating.
6. Prepare Topping: While the Bugles bake, mix together ½ cup sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl for the final topping.
7. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Once baked, remove Bugles from the oven and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over them. Stir well until the Bugles are evenly coated in the cinnamon sugar topping.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the Cinnamon Churro Bugles to cool completely before serving so the coating sets and the snack becomes crispy.

Notes

• Make sure to stir well when coating the Bugles to get an even distribution of the cinnamon butter and sugar coating.
• Let the Bugles cool completely after baking and topping to prevent the sugar from melting and becoming sticky.
• Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 3 days.
• For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon butter mixture.
