Ingredients

Scale

Caramel Sauce

  • 1 pound Butter
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 tablespoons Water

Snack

  • 2 bags (7.5 oz each) Bugles

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a pot over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, salt, and water. Stir continuously until all ingredients are blended smoothly to create a rich base for the caramel.
  2. Cook Caramel: Allow the mixture to heat without stirring until it reaches 240°F (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer. This temperature ensures a gooey, perfect caramel texture.
  3. Prepare Bugles: While the caramel cooks, butter a large mixing bowl and place the Bugles inside. The butter prevents sticking and helps the caramel coat them evenly.
  4. Coat Bugles: Once the caramel is ready, carefully pour it over the Bugles. Gently but thoroughly mix to ensure each Bugle is coated evenly with the glossy caramel.
  5. Cool and Harden: Spread the caramel-coated Bugles onto wax paper in a single layer. Allow them to cool completely so the caramel hardens slightly, giving the snack a delightful crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Use a reliable candy thermometer to ensure the caramel reaches the correct temperature for best texture.
  • Butter the mixing bowl well to prevent the Bugles from sticking and clumping.
  • Cool the caramel Bugles completely before storing to maintain crunchiness.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for optimal freshness.
