  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 16

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 2 cups Bugles corn snacks
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup salted roasted peanuts
  • 1 (12 oz) bag good-quality white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • Festive Halloween sprinkles
  • Candy eyeballs
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a very large bowl, combine the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, pretzels, Bugles, Reese’s Pieces, candy corn, and peanuts. Toss gently to mix.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a separate, microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each one, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Coat the Mix: Immediately pour the melted chocolate over the snack mix. Use two forks or a spatula to gently toss until everything is lightly coated.
  5. Spread and Decorate: Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a single, even layer. While the chocolate is still wet, quickly top with your Halloween sprinkles, candy eyeballs, and a final pinch of flaky sea salt.
  6. Set and Cool: Let the snack mix sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm to the touch.
  7. Serve: Once hardened, break the snack mix into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!

Notes

  • Work Quickly: White chocolate sets up fast! Have your sprinkles and toppings ready to go before you begin melting the chocolate.
  • Best Tool: Using two forks to toss the ingredients with the chocolate is a great trick to get a light, even coat without crushing everything.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Do not refrigerate, as the condensation can make the pretzels and cereal soft.
  • Variations: Feel free to customize with other cereals, nuts, or candies. Milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate also work beautifully in place of white chocolate.
