Salty Sweet Fall Harvest Snack Mix Recipe
I’m digging deep in the vault for today’s recipe. It may be an oldie, but I promise it’s still a goodie.
Sweet and salty mixes are my kryptonite. I find the savory and sweet flavor combination soooo addicting.
A handful of sweet. Then a handful of salty. Then a handful of sweet and salty together. All day long.
The unique coating on this mix is similar to what you find on caramel corn, but the texture is a little “airier”. It’s just the right amount of coating to bring all the ingredients together into a cohesive mix.
You’ll find yourself going back for “just one more handful” again. And again. And again. Until it’s all gone.
If you like snack mixes as much as we do, be sure to try these easy mixes: Bunny Bait, Christmas Crunch, Reindeer Mix, Gingerbread Chex Mix, Salty Sweet Harvest Mix and Air Fryer Chex Mix.
Ingredients For Halloween Snack Mix
This mix is a little different than your everyday snack mix. I’m a fan of Chex Mix but sometimes you need to change things up.
Halloween Snack Mix is a combination of popcorn, peanut butter crackers, peanuts, M&M’s and candy corn. The coating uses pantry staples you most likely have on hand.
When you mix everything together, you get a delightful explosion of flavor and textures you won’t be able to resist.
Serving Ideas For Salty Sweet Halloween Snack Mix
While you may be tempted to keep this mix to yourself, it would be a shame not to share. Make a batch for your next gathering. It’s a fun addition to my Halloween Charcuterie Board.
Package the Halloween Snack Mix in holiday cello bags for a take home treat for parties. Be sure to inquire about peanut allergies before handing out.
Change up the candies and you’re covered for other holidays and occasions. Halloween parties, harvest parties, tailgating parties, birthday parties. Or any time your people need a little snack.
A snack mix this good deserves to be served more than once a year.
Make Ahead Tip
Salty Sweet Halloween Snack Mix can be made several days in advance. Store the mix in an airtight container.
Just a heads-up – you may want to hide the container to keep from nibbling until it’s gone. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
