This Halloween Chex Mix starts with a base of Rice Chex, Bugles, and mini pretzels coated in a buttery brown sugar glaze and baked until crunchy. Once cool, candy corn, candy corn pumpkins, and Reese's Pieces are stirred in for a festive touch. Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh for your spooky celebration.

Ingredients

1 box Rice Chex (12 oz)

1 bag of Bugles (14.5 oz)

4 cups Mini Pretzels

1 bag of Candy Corn (20 oz)

1 bag of Candy Corn Pumpkins (20 oz)

1 bag Reese’s Pieces (8oz)

1 cup Butter (Melted)

1 cup Brown Sugar

2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract

Directions

Set your oven to 275°F and cover two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl safe for the microwave, melt one cup of butter.

Add one cup of brown sugar and two tablespoons of vanilla extract to the melted butter, stirring until everything is well mixed.

Split the Rice Chex cereal, the whole bag of Bugles, and the four cups of mini pretzels equally between the two lined baking sheets.

Pour the brown sugar butter mixture evenly over the cereal mix, then use your hands or a big spoon to make sure all the Chex, Bugles, and pretzels are coated evenly.

Bake for twenty minutes, stirring everything once halfway through.

Take the baking sheets out of the oven and let the mixture cool all the way down.

After it has cooled, mix in one bag of candy corn, one bag of candy corn pumpkins, and one bag of Reese's Pieces.

Keep the mix in an airtight container until you're ready to serve.
