While this was not the easiest treat to assemble, they are pretty cute and the sweet, salty, chocolatey combo is something almost everyone will enjoy.
You need to use a small - I mean REALLY small - spoon to get the peanut butter inside the Bugles. Be sure to pick out the Bugles with the largest openings possible. This will make it a bit easier.
Once they are dipped in the melted chocolate, move quickly to sprinkle on the spooky sprinkles. It will take a bit of time for them to set-up, but you can place them in the freezer to move them along and get to the nibbling sooner.
Overall these were a huge hit with both boys! For more Halloween Treats - check out my previous posts.

Ingredients
- 1 bag (7.5 oz) Bugles original flavor snacks
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- Halloween sprinkles
Directions
- Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Using knife, fill each Bugles snack with peanut butter.
- In 1-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly. Using a fork, dip peanut butter-filled snacks, one at a time, into chocolate mixture, letting excess drip off. Place on waxed paper; sprinkle with candy sprinkles. Let stand until chocolate is set. To quickly set chocolate, refrigerate 30 minutes. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container at room temperature.

What a cute idea. I was wondering what made the "hats". Bugles...who would have thought. They would be perfect for a halloween party.
What a fun idea. I never would have guessed they started with a Bugle.
