Halloween Snack Mix Recipe

September 27, 2016 by Megan Porta 9 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Halloween Snack Mix is a great snack to have on hand. Great for Fall or Halloween themed parties. Only 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of your time!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I can remember eagerly reading Halloween-themed books and planning out my costume as October 31st approached.

It has always had a magical spin, with the costumes, candy, spooky stories and pumpkin carving. I’m noticing that Halloween holds magic for my boys, too, and I love that.

I picked up ingredients for this magical mixture and made it first thing this morning, which may have been a bit of a mistake because I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO STOP EATING IT. This will tell you two things:

  1. It is totally addicting
  2. I will not be eating lunch or dinner. In addition to being a triple meal replacement, it would also be great for a Halloween-themed party!

HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN SNACK MIX

Make the perfect fall treat in minutes, just a few ingredients and this easy recipe is ready to go!

This unique mix of ingredients is particularly good in the fall when candy corn is sold. Take these sweet treats and mix them up with a good salty snack to offset the sweetness. Bugles are another great crunchy snack alongside some caramel corn.

If you have a favorite chocolate candy other than M&M’s, then toss those in! Use whatever mix of Halloween candy you have around the house!

Here are my favorite ingredients to mix together in a large bowl:

  • Tiny Twists Pretzels
  • Original Bugles
  • Caramel Corn
  • Milk Chocolate M&M’s
  • Candy Corn (or Autumn Mix variety)
  • Salted peanuts

RECIPE NOTES

  • Use any variety of M&M’s, including peanut butter, caramel, peanut or regular!
  • Load up snack-sized ziploc bags with this snack and hand them out for trick or treating!
  • Regular or cheesy popcorn can replace caramel corn.
  • Chop up fun-size candy bars and throw them into the mix!

WHAT IS SNACK/TRAIL MIX?

Having the perfect finger foods for your kids to munch on or to send along for a Halloween party is great in the fall. This snack mix doesn’t require extra prep dishes and you can change up the ingredients if you prefer a different mix.

A lot of crunch, some salty, some sweet but not too much of either. Stirring together the ingredients are the only instructions, so enjoy putting together your own colorful mix!

HOW TO STORE HALLOWEEN SNACK MIX

Once you mix this up, you can put it in an air-tight container and keep it around for a couple weeks as you enjoy it.

OPTIONAL ADD-INS

  • Chex Cereal
  • Raisinets or plain raisins
  • Variety of Nuts (salted or unsalted)
  • Regular popcorn
  • White chocolate chips
  • Craisins

GREAT GIFTS FOR FRIENDS
