# Festive Candy Corn Snacks Brach's New Peppermint Candy Corn & Milk Chocolate Buncha Crunch is Here By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-11-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-candy-corn References: [delish](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a29656011/peppermint-candy-corn-buncha-crunch/) Just when you thought candy corn season was behind us, [Brach's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tailgate-mix) has debuted its new Peppermint Candy Corn & Milk Chocolate Buncha Crunch candy mix. Brach's new Peppermint Candy Corn & Milk Chocolate Buncha Crunch is a [hybrid snack mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twix-hallowmas) that combines two wildly different treats. Part of the mix is made up of Peppermint Candy Corn, which is a holiday-themed take on Halloween candy corn. The red and white candy corn is then mixed with Buncha Crunch Pieces, which are crisped rice dipped in milk chocolate. As [Branch's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placidus-building) puts it, the new mix is a "chocolaty, minty, crunchy extravaganza." This is not the first time Branch's has combined Buncha Crunch with candy corn. As some fans may remember, the brand debuted a Mini Candy Corn & Buncha Crunch mix for Halloween.
