Simple Halloween Snack Mix Recipe
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best recipes. When you find a Halloween trail mix recipe that tastes this good, why would you not want to make it? It literally tastes like a candy bar!
The next time you head to the store, be sure to grab the ingredients that you need to make this party mix. You don’t have to wait until Halloween to make it – I eat this regularly during the fall, I love it so much.
Halloween Snack Mix Ingredients
- Candy corn – I just use the regular candy corn, but there are so many flavored options now that could be good, too! You could even use the candy pumpkins.
- Peanuts – It’s up to you if you want to use salted or unsalted peanuts.
- Rice Krispies Treats – Buy them premade to save on time.
How to Make this Halloween Trail Mix Recipe
- Add the candy corn and the peanuts into a bowl. Mix.
- Cut up the Rice Krispie Treats into 24 small pieces and mix them into the candy corn mixture.
- Serve!
Pro Tip
If you get salted peanuts to combine with the other ingredients, the party mix recipe is going to taste identical to a PayDay candy bar!
FAQs
As long as you store this mixture in an airtight container, it will last for up to 2 weeks! It can be kept at room temperature without issue.
Absolutely! You can easily double or triple this recipe without any problems at all. This makes it super simple to make for a group!
You can also halve the recipe easily. I do this sometimes when it’s just me snacking on it – because otherwise, I’ll eat the entire batch.
I’ve only ever added peanuts because I really love the taste and flavor. But I do think that other nuts would taste great. Cashews are always a great idea, and walnuts are a winning choice as well.
I would stay away from harder nuts like almonds just because some people may not like the hard texture.
The more ingredients that you start adding, the less and less it’s going to taste like a candy bar. That being said, it’s your recipe to be creative with.
You can really make it into more of a pub mix by adding pretzels and rice sticks to the dish. I also think that adding in some chocolate chips or even pumpkin spice chocolate chips is a fun flavor idea also.

I worked in childcare for 20 years or so but oh snap, crackle & pop that candy corn snack mix! I’m a huge fan of candy corn. Wayyyyyy back in the day we would bite each later then get to the white part and fake we broke a tooth. Super funny when your 8! Oh I’m also a huge fan of those little candy pumpkins…. ?
I’ve never used chopped up Rice Krispy treats in a snack mix like this before. I’m so loving this idea!
This is brilliant, and it’s certainly party-friendly food if I’ve ever seen it!!
Wait! What?!? Candy corn and peanuts? Is that the magic combo that allows one to cross over to candy corn land? Ugh! But do I NEED to cross over into candy corn land? Yeah. Probably not. But now I know about it so now I’m gonna have to try it 🙂
YES. My advice: run far away. LOL!
