Growing up, one of my favorite candy bars was Payday.  Loads of yummy peanuts with that hint of sweetness. Thanks to my mother in law, I now can make a mock Payday bar mix which is so easy my biggest obstacle is to not always have it at the ready.

Making the Mock Payday Bar Mix

Ready for it…..this is so easy that you’ll be done in a mere minute or two.

Grab a bag of candy corn and a large container of peanuts.

Oh, and a cup measure! That’s it.  

Super Easy Mock Payday Bar Mix

Ingredients

• 2 cups peanuts
• 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

2. Measure out the candy corn and peanuts. We found that 1 cup of candy corn to every 2 cups of peanuts works well. Just add more in that proportion (or cut it down if making a smaller batch for snacking.)
3. Toss the candy corn and peanuts in a bowl.
4. Put out on the table and watch it disappear!

I have to say that candy corn on their own do NOT have me chomping at the bit.  Considering how many bags you see marked down after Halloween is over, I guess others feel the same way.

But, my older boys are now asking me to pick up a few bags to have in the house.  Somehow the candy corn mixed with the peanuts becomes a delight to the senses.  I have to watch that I only eat a handful a day. Yum!

Have you ever tried to imitate it?
