Ingredients

Base Mix

4 cups crunchy cereal squares (plain or lightly sweet)
2 cups mini pretzels
1 to 1 1/2 cups candy corn Add for a classic Halloween touch
1 cup chocolate candies in Halloween colors
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup popcorn (already popped and cooled)
1/2 to 1 cup roasted peanuts or mixed nuts (optional) Skip for nut-free version
1/2 cup chocolate chips or peanut butter chips (optional) Can be omitted if serving in heat

Method

Mixing

Grab your biggest mixing bowl.
Add cereal, pretzels, popcorn, and nuts first to create your crunchy base.
Next, add in the candies and marshmallows.
Stir gently to avoid crushing the popcorn too much.
Taste your mix and adjust by adding more sweet or salty elements as desired.
Pour into a serving bowl or portion into treat bags.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Consume within 2-3 days for best crunch, especially if popcorn is included. Refresh by adding pretzels or cereal before serving.
