How to make Halloween Snack Mix
Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate. Add the white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl, microwave in 30 second increments and stir as much as you can. Continue microwaving in 20 second increments until its totally melted and can be stirred smooth.
Step 2: Mix. Add the Chex, popcorn, and pretzels to a very large bowl and
Step 3:Mix it all Together. Pour the melted white chocolate over the top. Stir it all together until the mix is evenly coated in the white chocolate. Pour it out onto parchment paper. Sprinkle immediately with Reeses Pieces, Candy corn, Caramel Popcorn, and Peanuts.
Step 4: Add More Chocolate. Melt and drizzle more chocolate or white chocolate over the top of the mixture, if desired. Melt it, then transfer it to a ziplock bag and cut off a little bit of the corner of the bag and squeeze it out to drizzle it over the top for extra sweetness.
Tips and Tricks:
- Let it Set Completely: Let the mix sit at room temperature until the white chocolate has fully set to prevent it from clumping together to much, or sticking to the bag.
- Extra Festive: Add Halloween sprinkles, or candy eyes before the chocolate hardens to make the mix extra fun!
Storage Instructions
Once the white chocolate has hardened and the snack mix is cooled, you can store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. This recipe makes a big batch, so its great for packaging up in cellophane bags and sharing with friends!
This Halloween Snack Mix is such a fun, crunchy snack mix that is so easy to make, and of course eat! It’s the perfect snack mix to enjoy all spooky season long!
