🛒 Ingredient notes
One of the best things about this cute and spooky Halloween snack mix is how easy it is to customize and make your own. You can make this perfect snack with very simple ingredients that you can find in any grocery store.
Here's what I like to use:
- Cereal - Use a cup or two of Chex cereal, Life cereal, or even Cheerios or a coated cereal mixture.
- Crackers - Orange crackers like Goldfish and Cheez-Its work well to fit the Halloween theme.
- M & Ms - If they are available, use the Halloween mix of M & Ms, or just pick out the orange, brown, purple, and green M & Ms.
- Nuts - Add some saltiness and protein-packed crunch with nuts like peanuts, cashews, almonds, or macadamia nuts.
- Salty Pretzels - You could add pretzel sticks or mini pretzels, but I really love adding either white chocolate covered pretzels or yogurt covered pretzels to add some contrasting white to the festive snack mix.
- Candy Eyeballs - I love adding candy eyes to Halloween treats. They add so much character and spooky fun to any snack.
- Sprinkles - Because everything's better with sprinkles! Sprinkles are a great way to add color and fun to every bite.
