I learned how to make poor mans Payday candy bar mix yesterday at my church's 10th Annual Fall Festival. I am telling you this is amazing and will be fun when you have a party or to put in bags or jars as a gift.
This was my 8th year of being involved in our fall festival and my 7th year of co-chairing with my alter ego Angelle. It was a beautiful day and such a fun time. One of our favorite contributors every year is Tom from our local Chick-fil-a. He is so gracious and brings free chicken biscuits to our volunteers every Fall Fest morning.
On Friday while we were setting up we had some candy corn laying around. My friend Mary and I were having a disagreement over the taste of generic candy corn vs. Brach's when Tom came by. He told us about Poor Man's PayDay©. We could not believe it when he told us the recipe. I guess he got a craving because he brought us a bag the next day so we could try it.
I could not believe how good this was, it was seriously just like a PayDay© candy bar and is my new favorite fall treat! And yes I will say Mary was right Brach's is better than generic when it comes to Candy Corn.
A quick and fun snack mix that tastes just like a Payday Candy Bar.
Mix together in a bowl or bag candy corn and honey roasted peanuts and serve.
If u add a bag of milk chocolate chips it tastes like a babyruth candy bar!
Awesome, I bet that's delicious! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
I've had this with plain m&m's mixed in too...yummy!
Thanks so much for sharing at Someday Crafts! I'm featuring your recipe tonight on the blog.
I'm excited because Payday is my favorite candy bar too and they are so expensive. I'm going to try this! Happy to be your neighbor at The Picket Fence's party. Come visit!
Yum, Kelley. I made this last year with salted peanuts. It was hard not to eat the whole bowl in one sitting! Happy Fall to you!
So festive right now! Love this. THanks for sharing at Must Try Monday. I love having you join in!!!
Seriously yum!! Candy corn is my favorite Halloween candy so I'm sold on anything involving it!! This sounds so good!! Pinning & will be trying it out!
Yum yum. Think I will pick up some candy corn and make a batch! Cheers.
I was introduced to this tasty combo last fall. Gotta LOVE the sweet & salty combo. Thanks for the reminder...I have both on hand, but haven't mixed them yet...that's about to change. And I LOVE payday candy bars too.
YUM! I have to admit I got to taste it- and it tastes Exactly like the candy bar. YUM YUM YUM!
