- Nonstick aluminum foil
- medium saucepan
- Silicone Spatula
Ingredients
- ½ cup (3.5 ounces) granulated sugar
- 2 ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 7.5 ounce bag of Original Bugles
- 6 tablespoons (3 ounces, ¾ stick) unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (5.5 ounces) light brown sugar, packed

- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Combine ½ cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
