Sweet & Salty Candy Corn Mix

My in-laws are on their way to visit (we’re so excited around here!) and we’ve all had so much fun getting ready for them. Since they don’t travel all that often (this is the furthest that they’ve been from home since Don contracted West Nile virus five years ago), I’ve had fun fluffing our home, baking, and hunting down some special treats. (I even managed to find an awesome gluten free bakery here in Columbus on the way home from Bible Study today.  I was so excited because while I love to bake, it’s such a nice gift to have a gluten free option for my mother-in-law to enjoy as a special treat for her too!)

Since it’s October I mixed up some Sweet & Salty Candy Corn Mix, and goodness gracious, it doesn’t last long at all in our house. If you’ve never tried it out before you’re in for a treat ~ all you need is a an equal portion candy corn mixed with some peanuts. Yum!

For those of you who make this at home already, I’d love to know which kind of peanuts you use. I used Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts but my sister-in-law likes it with cocktail nuts ~ thoughts, anyone? 😉

If things slow down a bit here the next few days just know that I’ll be right back at it when they head home shortly. Love me some penny pinching, but goodness some days are just wonderful to enjoy family too! Thanks for understanding, and if you see an awesome deal while you’re out and about, send me an email at contact @ passionate pennypincher.com (leave out spaces) and I’ll try my best to get it added in here too!
