Bugles dipped in candy coating and colorful sprinkles to look like cute little birthday hats that will make any birthday celebration sweeter!
I just can’t get over how adorable and delicious these birthday hat bugles turned out. A yummy, salty meets sweet treat that’s easy to make and fun to celebrate with.
Served by themselves or sprinkled into this festive Birthday Snack Mix, they’re party perfect for any age!
Check out my my Instagram stories highlights to see a video of me making them or see the step-by-step images below…
All you need is a bag of Bugles, a package of white candy coating (such as CandiQuik) and a container of rainbow sprinkles. You can turn the whole bag of bugles into birthday hats or just as many as you want/need.
Start by melting the candy coating according to package directions. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the sprinkles into a shallow bowl.
Once the candy coating is melted, take one Bugle at a time, holding it by the pointy tip, and dip it into the candy coating. No need to worry about coating the pointy tip at this point in the process. Immediately dip the bottom of the Bugle into the sprinkles just to create a ring of sprinkles around the wide edge of the Bugle. Lay the coated Bugle on the parchment paper to dry, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat this step with however many more birthday hats you are wanting to make.
Once the coated Bugles are set, hold the wide sprinkled end of each Bugle and dip just the pointy end into the melted candy coating and then immediately into the sprinkles so the pointy tip is sprinkled as well. Set the Bugle back on the parchment paper to dry while you finish off the rest of the Bugles you’re turning into birthday hats.
And that’s all there is to them. Super easy, so cute and oh so yummy!
I hope you enjoy making and eating these adorable Birthday Hat Bugles as much as we do when we make them for birthday celebrations!
