PUZZLE #490: Triangle Tangle 6

PUZZLE #490
TRIANGLE TANGLE 6

To solve this puzzle, enter the 4-letter answer to each clue into the diagram either from top to bottom or diagonally upward. There are two numbers starting each clue; each answer begins in the triangle marked with the first number, and ends in the triangle marked with the second.

Once the grid has been filled in, there are two more words hiding in the topmost row of letters and the bottommost row of letters. Combine them both to get the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a candy brand


1-2) Grand Cherokee SUV manufacturer
2-3) Machu Picchu's country
3-4) Risk territory that neighbors Ukraine and Siberia
4-5) Past participle of "lie" (as opposed to "lay")
5-6) Christopher Columbus's ship whose name contains a tilde
6-7) "_____-Hero" (Taylor Swift hit with the lyrics "I'm the problem, it's me")
7-8) Tabloid twosome
8-9) Quick note from the boss
9-10) Prefix for "potent" or "present"
10-11) "So, are you _____ out?": 2 wds.
11-12) Reddish-brown horse
12-13) Siestas, in English
13-14) The Munsters' pet dragon (or a Dalmatian marking)
14-15) Frog and _____ Are Friends (Caldecott Honor Book by Arnold Lobel)
15-16) Week fractions
16-17) Match, like audio and video
17-18) Cable network that airs Mad Money and reruns of Shark Tank

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
