This snack mix is perfect for Fall…a great combination of sweet and salty along with the fun autumn mix of candy corn and candy pumpkins. Not only is it a delicious treat with the caramelized crunchy mix of Chex, bugles and pretzel you top of it off with the sweet candy corns and peanut buttery Reece’s Pieces. My husband who is leery of candy corn was pleasantly surprised at how great this combination went together. Enough that he took the whole gallon size zip lock bag with him in the combine. Now, that’s a good snack mix if you ask me!
I also love the colors of this mix; it just looks so festive sitting on my counter. A great reminder of the fall season! As you can see below, this is even a popular snack with the kiddos, I couldn’t keep my little four year old out of the mix long enough to snap some pictures. Be sure to give this fun and seasonal snack a try! I have also linked up several other fun fall snack mixes below.
