Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Chex cereal flavor of your choice
  • 2 cups Bugles original or caramel flavor
  • 2 cups pretzels regular or twists
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • ½ cup candy corn
  • ½ cup candy pumpkins
  • ½ cup mint M&M’s
  • ¼ cup candy eyeballs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the Bugles, pretzels, and cereal. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix until combined. You want it a bit runny to easily pour over the cereal mixture.
  • Pour the sugar mixture slowly over the cereal mixture while stirring to coat all the ingredients well.
  • Spread evenly on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Pour into an extra large bowl and add the candies. Mix well and serve.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Have your sheet pan prepared and ready to go so when you coat the mixture you can pop it in the oven right away.
  • This recipe makes eight cups of snack mix – you can easily double or triple it if you want to make more.
  • Wait until the mix is cooled to add the candy – if you add it while it’s warm, the candy will melt.
  • Store the mix in an airtight container and it will keep well for up to two weeks at room temperature.
  • You can also freeze it! This is great if you are trying to get ahead on party planning. You can make and bake the snack mix, let it cool, and then freeze it for several months. Thaw it at room temperature and then stir in the candy.
