A delightful treat combining sweet, salty, and crunchy flavors, perfect for Halloween festivities.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mini pretzels
  • 5 cups popped popcorn
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • ⅓ cup corn syrup
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup Reese’s Pieces
  • ½ cup candy corn
  • 2 Tablespoons candy eyes
  • 2 Tablespoons orange sprinkles
  • 2 Tablespoons black sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) to prepare for baking the snack mix.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mini pretzels, popped popcorn, peanuts, and mini marshmallows. Stir until evenly distributed.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar together. Stir until well combined.
  5. Bring the bubbling mixture to a boil and let it cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly pour the sweet mixture evenly over your pretzel and popcorn mix. Use a spatula to gently stir and coat as much as possible.
  7. Transfer the mix to your prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and stir to ensure an even bake, then return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  8. After baking, remove from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, break into clusters and toss with dark chocolate chips, Reese’s Pieces, candy corn, candy eyes, and the colored sprinkles.
  9. Enjoy your Halloween Monster Snack Mix immediately or store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

Notes

Keep an eye on the boiling mixture to avoid overboiling. Mix quickly when combining wet and dry ingredients.
