A delightful sweet and salty trail mix to take along on your Autumn picnic, serve at your Halloween bash, or bag up and give to your favorite trick-or-treaters. This is a family favorite and my kids look forward to it every year. There are so many fun twists you can do this time of year with all the flavors in candy corn, M&M's, and even the caramel corn! So have fun with this one, and add in some of your family's favorites to make it your own!
- 8 oz Mini Pretzels
- 16 oz Dry Roasted Honey Roasted Peanuts
- 22 oz bag Candy Corn
- 11.40 oz bag M&M's
- 8 oz bag Caramel Corn
Into a large bowl, or bucket in this case, dump in one bag of candy corn. I chose the original version, but there are so many different flavors available now, so have fun deciding!
Next add in one bag of M&M's. Here I decided to go with classic milk chocolate, but again peanut, caramel, peanut butter flavors would all be delicious!
Add in one jar of dry roasted peanuts. This year I decided on the honey roasted flavor, but if you just want to add that salty crunch, go with original!
Next comes the caramel corn! I happened to find a delicious caramel apple corn and used that, but normally I'll use cracker jacks or just a great caramel corn.
Add in your pretzels. This is the first year I added these in and I am so glad I did! So delicious to have that cracker texture in the mix!
Give your trail mix a good mix and serve right in this darling bucket with plastic scoop. You can also get some fun treat bags, fill, and tie up with twine. These make fun neighbor gifts, teacher gifts, or to hand out to parents as they trick-or-treat with their kids. I know your family and friends are going to love this Halloween Harvest Trail mix as much as mine do! Enjoy!
