Recently my sweet little Devilish Assistant Emily was chosen by her high school as a select group of "royalty" to raise money for a local charity. In addition to soliciting donations from family and friends, and placing collection jars at area businesses, she baked. And baked. And baked. The priest was kind enough to allow her to hold a bake sale at church. She came over and we made Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte Blondies, Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts (featured on our recent Freaky Friday blog swap) and Candy Corn Trash. She also sold treats at school including spicy pretzels, Crack Corn, and cookies. On Monday, she took her church bake sale leftovers to peddle to her fellow students. She texted me after school and said, "They want more Candy Corn Trash!" We made several batches. It consists of pretzels, salty peanuts, candy corn and white chocolate coating. Of course I never tasted it because: Gluten. But after hearing rave reviews from the high schoolers, I got curious and whipped up a batch with gluten-free pretzels for myself. One word: Addicting. The combination of sweet candy corn and white chocolate coating with salty pretzels and peanuts is amazing. I wound up bagging up an additional batch to give as little Halloween gifts. It's the perfect fall snack, and easily converted to a gluten-free version!
