Combine all the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Using a large spoon, stir the ingredients together.
Keep any leftovers in a covered container.
That is all you need to do to make this quick and easy tasty treat!
Recipe Tips:
When we make the recipe, 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 covered 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. It is also perfect to snack on while watching the game or playing board games with the family.

I tried this last year and my kids loved it. My daughter saw the candy corn in the store and asked when can I make it this year. You know it is good when your kids ask for it again.
So happy to hear that Lily! Thanks for letting me know.
