Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl.
    1 cup candy corn, 1 cup salted peanuts, 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Using a large spoon, stir ingredients together.
  • Store in an airtight container or transfer to individual treat bags.

Notes

When we make this 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 party or larger family. You will just need equal parts of each ingredient.
Store any leftovers of the mix in an airtight container.  

Variations and Substitutions

If you are making this simple snack mix recipe for your fall parties, there are so many things that you can add to really jazz it up. You can add different variations of candy corn or candy pumpkins, some caramel corn, Chex cereal, or even some salty pretzels.
You could put each ingredient in small bowls and let your guests assemble their own party mix, or make it ahead of time as a party favor and give it out in small treat bags. The best part of this recipe is that you can make it however you like to make the perfect combination of your favorite fall flavors.
  • Substitution for Peanuts: If you are not a fan of peanuts or if you have an allergy, 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!
  • Double the Peanut Flavor: Double up on the delicious peanut flavor and add peanut butter chips to the mix.
  • Add More Candy: Isn't that what Halloween is all about? If you really want to get into the holiday spirit, add some Reese's Pieces.
