Ingredients for Halloween Snack Mix
Stock up on these simple ingredients to make this recipe over and over all throughout the season. To make this super tasty Chex mix treat, you will need:
- Corn Chex Mix Cereal-I prefer Corn Chex for this snack mix, but you could also use Rice or Wheat or even Honey Nut
- Mini Pretzels– the perfect shape for grabbing a handful. Pretzel sticks could also be used.
- Bugles– salty, crunchy triangles that are so much fun to add to a snack mix
- Honey Roasted Peanuts– again we are looking for flavor here, regular dry roasted peanuts can be used as well
- Autumn Candy Mix– is it really a candy mix for Fall if you don’t have candy corn??
- Peanut Butter Candies– such as Reese’s Pieces
In addition to the ingredients and treats above, you will need the following to make a simple glaze that will add so much flavor:
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla
- Pumpkin Spice
How to make Halloween Chex Mix
First, to make this fun snack mix, combine together the Chex cereal, pretzels, bugles and peanuts in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, add the butter and brown sugar. Place into the microwave for 1 minute. Once done, stir and add in the vanilla and pumpkin spice.
Next, pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss to coat. Pour the Chex mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a 275º F oven for 30 minutes flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Allow to cook once done cooking and add in the candy corn, candy pumpkins and Reese’s pieces candies. Toss to combine on the baking sheet.
Use the parchment paper to pick up the the Halloween snack mix and transfer it to a serving bowl.
