Equipment

13 ½ x 9 ⅝ x 2 ¾ inch disposable aluminum pan
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
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Combine ½ cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
Line a 13 ½ x 9 ⅝ x 2 ¾-inch disposable aluminum pan with nonstick aluminum foil. Add bugles and spread into an even layer. (See Tip 1)
In a medium saucepan, combine cubed butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil gently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and boil, undisturbed and uncovered, for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla and baking soda. (See Tip 2)
Pour the caramel over the Bugles; stir to combine. Bake at 300°F for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even baking and coating.
Remove from the oven and stir. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the Churro Bugles; stir to combine. Sprinkle on the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Yield: 10 servings.

Notes

If desired, you can use a half-sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Be careful when adding the vanilla and baking soda - the mixture will bubble and foam.
