monster munch

monster_munch_1Do you love or hate candy corn?  I always had a “like” relationship with the seasonal candy.  At first I like it but after a couple of pieces my stomach turns and the desire to eat anymore diminishes.  It is pure sugar and food coloring after all – why on earth would that make my insides feel yucky?  Not one to give up so easily I decided to give this mix a whirl. It’s candy corn mixed with salty peanuts, popcorn, Reese’s Pieces and coated in white chocolate.  Sounds fabulous. And much to my delight it is.

monster_munch_2 monster_munch_3This would make a fantastic treat for friends and/or coworkers.  Simply place in cellophane bag and secure with ribbon.

monster_munch_4If you are on the fence about candy corn but love yourself a sweet and salty snack this just may sway you to the “love” side.  I know it did me.  (Peeps on the other hand.  No, never.)

Enjoy something you love this weekend!
