Last Christmas a family friend gave us a delicious treat called “Popcorn Crunch” along with the recipe. We all loved it so much. I decided it would be fun to make a version that included candy corn for the fall. And it is even more delicious, especially if you are a fan of candy corn. It is delectably salty, sweet, and crunchy…an addictive combination!
This recipe for Candy Corn Crunch would be perfect to make for a special snack, to hand out to friends and family in the fall, or even to make for a class treat.

Peanuts
Peanut Butter

child has peanut allergery. What could I use as a substitute
You could try sunbutter or something similar? Or you could do a variation with marshmallows instead. It is really yummy too: http://www.icanteachmychild.com/elf-munch-with-white-chocolate-peppermint-mms/ Just substitute the M&M’s for candy corn.
