- 1½ cups creepy cocoa Halloween M&Ms candies

- Be gentle when mixing to avoid breaking the candy corn and pretzels.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the caramel corn from becoming stale.
- This snack mix is great for Halloween party favor bags or as a festive movie-time treat.
