Candy Corn Snack Mix

If you are looking for a tasty treat 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.  Seriously, give it a try!

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 usually do one cup of each ingredient for my family of four to snack on.  
• It is easy.  So easy.  Just mix ingredients together and eat!

Grocery Shopping List:

• Candy corn
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Salted peanuts

Buy the regular candy corn for this recipe. They now make several different flavored candy corn candy so be sure to buy the original one.

How to make this recipe:

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

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 the 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.
