Candy Corn Snack Mix

If you are looking for a delicious snack for the autumn and Halloween season, this Candy Corn Snack Mix is for you.  It makes a great snack for kids and adults! 

If you like salty and sweet types of snacks, you will love this recipe for Candy Corn Snack Mix.  The sweetness of the chocolate chips and candy corn go perfectly with the salty peanuts.

When you mix the ingredients together, you get the taste of a Snickers candy bar.  So tasty!

The story of the recipe: 

The first time I had this snack was years ago when I used to meet up at my friend’s scrapbook store.  We were all moms that liked to scrapbook and would work on our pages until late at night.  My friend had this snack for us one night and I was hooked on it!

Why this recipe works:

• Three ingredients are all you need to make this recipe! Just take equal parts each of candy corn, peanuts and chocolate chips!  I use one cup of each ingredient for my family of four to snack on.  
• It is easy.  So easy.  This recipe has one basic step to make it.

How to make Candy Corn Snack Mix:

Measure out equal parts of each ingredient.  I use one cup of each for my family.  

Combine all the ingredients together in a medium to large sized bowl.  Using a large spoon, stir the ingredients together.

That is all you need to do to make this quick and easy Candy Corn Snack Recipe.

Recipe Tips: 

When we make this recipe for Candy Corn Snack Mix, we use one cup of each ingredient.  While that amount works for my family of four,  you should increase the amount if making this for a larger family or to take to a party.  You will just need equal parts of each ingredient.

Store any of leftovers of the mix in a air tight container.  

Substitution for peanuts: If you are not a fan of peanuts, almonds are a good  substitute.  

Substitution for chocolate chips: Not a huge chocolate fan?  A reader told me in the comment area that she used butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips and that it tasted like a Payday candy bar!

This is a nice easy recipe to make for an autumn or Halloween party.  Or just to have as a fun snack on any day!
