Ingredients

Snack Mix Base

  • 2 cups Candy corn
  • 1 12-ounce box Rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Pretzels
  • 2 cups Kettle corn
  • 1 cup Pumpkin candy corn
  • 2 boxes Reese’s Pieces

Glaze

  • ½ cup Butter, melted
  • ½ cup Brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and brown sugar together in the microwave for about one minute or until completely melted. Stir in the cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Toss mix: Combine the Rice Chex cereal and pretzels in a large bowl, then pour the melted butter and brown sugar mixture over them. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Bake the mix: Divide the coated cereal and pretzel mixture evenly between the two prepared baking sheets. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring once about halfway through at the 20-minute mark to ensure even baking and coating.
  5. Cool down: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the mixture to cool completely on the sheets, helping the glaze set and become crisp.
  6. Add remaining ingredients: Once cooled, transfer the baked mix to a large bowl or leave on the pan, then gently fold in the candy corn, pumpkin candy corn, kettle corn, and Reese’s Pieces.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Your Halloween Snack Mix is now ready to serve. Enjoy this crunchy, sweet, and festive treat at any Halloween gathering or party.

Notes

  • Be sure to stir the mix halfway through baking to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
  • Allow the snack mix to cool completely before adding the candy to avoid melting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the glaze.
