  • 1 cup pumpkin candy corn
  • 1½ cups creepy cocoa Halloween M&Ms candies
  • 1½ cups milk chocolate ghoul’s mix M&M candies
  • 1½ cups Rolos (or any chocolate-covered caramel candy), unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the caramel corn, pretzels, and honey Chex cereal. Gently mix these together until evenly combined to form the crunchy foundation of your snack mix.
  2. Add Candy Corn: Incorporate both the candy corn and pumpkin candy corn into the bowl. Stir carefully to distribute the candy pieces without crushing them.

  4. Add M&M Candies: Pour in both the creepy cocoa Halloween M&Ms and the milk chocolate ghoul’s mix M&Ms. Toss the snack mix thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
  5. Toss the Mix: Use a large spoon or clean hands to gently toss the entire mix, ensuring all components are well distributed for balanced flavor and texture in every bite.
  6. Store Properly: Transfer the snack mix into an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep it fresh. Store at room temperature and enjoy within a week for optimal taste and crunch.

Notes

  • You can substitute Rolos with any chocolate-covered caramel candies of your choice.
  • 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.
