This Halloween Chex Mix combines crunchy cereal, pretzels, and peanuts with a savory butter-Worcestershire coating, then gets a sweet twist with candy corn, pumpkins, M&M's, and adorable Oreo eyeballs. Bake until dry, cool, and toss with the candies for a festive treat that keeps for a week.

Directions

Set your oven to 275°F to preheat.

In a large roasting pan or oven-safe metal bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Cheerios, broken pretzel sticks, and Spanish peanuts. Stir well.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for 1 minute. Then stir in the vegetable oil, garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high again until hot.

Remove the butter mixture from the microwave and stir thoroughly.

Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal mixture, stirring to coat everything.

Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. The mix should be dry when done. Let it cool for 15 minutes.

Once the Chex mix has cooled and the icing on the Oreo eyeballs is dry, toss in the M&M's, candy corn, candy pumpkins, and the Oreo eyeballs.

Store in an airtight container; it will keep for up to a week.
