Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the Bugles into a large mixing bowl. If you're adding pecans, mix them in with the Bugles.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup together, stirring consistently, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes without stirring.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. The mixture will foam slightly—this is normal.
Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the Bugles in the large mixing bowl, and carefully toss to coat evenly with a spatula.
Spread the coated Bugles onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even coating.
Remove the Bugles from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
If using white chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Bugles with a spoon.
Once the chocolate sets, break apart any large clumps and transfer the Bugles to a serving bowl or airtight container.
Serve and enjoy your sweet and savory New Year's Eve Bugles!
