Last weekend I went to a party at my neighbor's house. It was a girls night out and we had a blast! It was the first time I'd had a babysitter since I moved to North Carolina and I have to say it was an absolutely fabulous treat to come home to a quiet house where someone else had put the kids to bed. My neighbor went all out with Fall treats and Halloween decorations. And, as part of her decorations, she had candy corn displayed in pretty cocktail glasses on the food table.
As the party was coming to a close, we were discussing what to do with all of the leftover candy corn. One of the girls said that she liked to mix candy corn half and half with peanuts for a snack. Perfect! So, my neighbor gave me the candy corn, and I made up an unbelievably huge batch of Candy Corn Crunch to share. I sent some with my son on a camping trip this weekend, gave some to my neighbor, and the girls and I have been munching on the rest of it.
I would imagine that if you are allergic to nuts, that mini pretzels would be just as good as the peanuts. And, raisins or dark chocolate chips might be good additions too.
Candy Corn Crunch
2 cups candy corn
2 cups peanuts, cocktail or dry roasted
Mix together and serve.
Sounds like a tasty snack. Maybe I'll have to cave and buy a bag to display in a glass bowl on the counter. Glad you had a fun night out with some friends.
