Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, Bugles, and salty pretzels. These crunchy items create the foundation of your trail mix.
  2. Add the sweet elements: candy corn, candy pumpkins, Reese’s Pieces, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. These candies provide a festive Halloween appearance and a classic sweet-and-salty taste.
  3. Mix in the caramel corn, peanuts, peanut butter chips, and caramel pieces. This adds another layer of sweet and salty goodness.
  4. Gently toss all ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until evenly distributed.
  5. Allow the mix to rest at room temperature for a short while so the ingredients reach their optimal texture and flavor.
