Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal
  • 2 cups pretzel twists
  • 1 cup roasted nuts (almonds or pecans)
  • 1 cup Halloween-themed candies (candy corn, pumpkin-shaped chocolates, or similar)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all snack components to ensure a smooth and stress-free mixing process.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Spices: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, roasted nuts, and any additional dry mix-ins like dried fruit or candy.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the melted butter and spice mixture over the dry ingredients and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Add Marshmallows and Candies: Allow the coated mix to cool slightly before folding in mini marshmallows and Halloween-themed candies carefully to avoid melting.
  6. Serve or Store: Transfer the Halloween Harvest Snack Mix into serving bowls or airtight containers for immediate serving or storage.

Notes

  • Use day-old marshmallows to help them blend better without melting completely.
  • Mix gently to avoid crushing the crunchy cereal and pretzels.
  • Cool the mix before adding candies to keep their shape and texture intact.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or cinnamon to taste.
  • Double the batch for gifting or to enjoy over several days.
