Our Halloween Snack Mix includes a combination of sweet and salty, crunchy and chocolaty treats that will have your guests feeling delighted. Positively delicious with all the favorites in there for fall!
With Halloween around the corner, it’s time to start preparing for your big party! When you’re throwing a party, you want to have a little something for everyone—and this mix has that. (even for the candy corn lovers)
We love a good combo of sweet and salty – so snack mix is something we always want to have at every gathering – big or small. Plus it only takes about 5-7 minutes to toss it all together – so when it comes to prep and clean up – it is so simple.
When making this mix I just grabbed a bunch of our favorite snack items – most of which I already had on hand. That makes it super easy and you can change it up based on whatever it is you like to have.
If you don’t happen to have candy corn lovers in your house – go ahead and leave those out and choose some other candy that will give you that bright pop of fall color in the mix.

Here are some commonly asked questions
What is the best way to store leftover snack mix?
Either cover with plastic wrap, foil, or transfer to an airtight container or ziptop bag and store for 1-2 weeks at room temperature. You can also portion it all out into individual snack bags so everyone can just grab a small portion as needed.
Can this be made with a type of cereal?
You bet! You can always change it up to add more of your favorite ingredients. Try adding Chex or another type of cereal to this mix. Or maybe you want to make this with oyster crackers, bagel thins, coconut chips, or bread twists – it will all work and be just as delicious!

What is the best way to serve this halloween snack mix?
When it comes to snack mix – I’m usually one that likes to keep the germs at bay, because you know how kids can be. So I usually create this mix and then scoop out individual portions into disposable cups.
This way people can not only grab-n-go and eat while mingling, but there are fewer fingers in the bowl – which is always better when it comes to germs.
Can this recipe be made without premade snack mix?
Of course! If you need to leave out whatever you don’t like – you can use Goldfish crackers, Cheez-its, or any other types of snack crackers you prefer.

How many can this serve?
This recipe makes enough to serve 6-10 people, depending on the portion sizes. I have it marked for 12 portions in the recipe but because you can change up the quantities based on your likes and needs – it really has too many variables to say. Just plan for at least 1 cup of mix per person as a baseline amount.
