Halloween Snack Mix is a great snack mix to satisfy your snack-time cravings. It’s sweet, salty, and crunchy that’s great as a party nibbler or treat bag happy.
I don’t know about you, but the boys love to help me in the kitchen. They always have. They went from having to get step stools to reach the counter to now both are taller than me. Nevertheless, they still love to cook with me. The enjoy making cookies the most but will help anytime I ask them.
They enjoyed helping to make this easy snack mix. Actually, they pretty much made this recipe by themselves with a little bit of instruction from me regarding melting the chocolate. (I didn’t’ want them to scorch it.) They did great.
We threw a rad Halloween party this year for our boys and their friends. We had a scary time, be sure to check it out the link is below. I made a Snack Mix for them to munch on throughout the night because 7 and 10-year-olds love to munch!!
Halloween Snack Mix
This is a great, versatile recipe that you can easily swap out different kinds of candy to fit any holiday or party theme. Don’t like marshmallows? Just leave them out! Don’t like peanuts, add almonds instead!
As well, this mix will store in an airtight container for ages so you can make up a big batch for your Netflix binge.
Check here on how to make a cute serving container pictured above.
