This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Enjoy this sweet and salty Halloween Snack Mix at your next Halloween party. The perfect way to use up candy plus add in the salty like pretzels and bugles.
This Halloween Snack Mix is addicting. I say that as I’m typing this post and eating a bag full of this mix. If your looking for a fun way to incorporate some Halloween candy and don’t want the kids wired on all the chocolate this is the way. Kids get hungry and we all know that candy is not going to fill their stomachs.
Why not make a mix with pretzels, popcorn, bugles, and Chex cereal plus a light drizzle of colored white chocolate, sprinkles (lots and lots of sprinkles) a few pieces of chocolate candy plus fun gummy Halloween candies. That combo of a mix is sure to be a crowd pleaser for both young and old.
How do you make Halloween Snack Mix?
I start by gathering all my ingredients on the counter. I like to use the largest bowl I have. You want to start with the snack like foods first like the bugles, chex, pretzels, and popcorn. Then add in half the chocolate bars. I melt each colored white chocolate individually and drizzle with a spoon. Then add sprinkles. Repeat until you are done with however many colors you would like to add on the popcorn. Place the mix in the refrigerator so the chocolate will set. Add the gummies once ready to serve. Easy as that!
My new found friends at Sweets and Treats asked us to select two different styles of sprinkles to use in recipes this week. I’ll be honest–I loved ALL the sprinkles. I’m ready to put in a huge sprinkle order. lol
Treat Street also sent me these awesome Gummy Zombie Hands and Gummy Eyeballs. I’ve been having to fend off my four year old from both of these.
Yesterday, I shared my recipe for Chocolate Covered Pretzel Monster Bites. These are the perfect addition for my Halloween Snack Mix.

The day I made this snack mix, I packaged them up and brought them to my son’s school as a fun after school treat. All the kids loved them, and most parents did too! I plan to make this mix for our Halloween party this month, and prepackage them into snack bags for kids and adults to enjoy at the party or later on at home!

- Melt the chocolate melts separately and drizzle on top of the mix. Then sprinkle with sprinkles. Set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so the white chocolate hardens.
