Why We Love This Snack Mix
It’s quick and easy! You can whip up a batch just before having friends show up to watch a favorite Halloween movie. Snack mixes are endlessly customizeable. Got mini reese’s peanut butter cups or chocolate covered raisins you can throw in? Go for it! You can seriously add any kind of candy you want, just try to keep a balance of salty and sweet for best results. This is a cute and festive recipe without actually requiring technical baking or decorating skills. Plus, it’s more just spooky-sweet, not spooky-scary, so it’s perfect for all ages.
What You’ll Need
Pretzels: Mini pretzels are perfect for this bite-size snack. Popped popcorn: You can pop your own or go ahead and buy what is already popped. There are so many options in the stores these days. Peanuts: I prefer roasted and salted peanuts. Corn syrup: This will be mixed with butter and brown sugar to make a caramel coating that ties the snack mix together. Candy corn: I know these are divisive (personally, I love them!) but can you really have a fall snack mix without it?
