In four days, Halloween will be here. Can you believe it? Whether you take part in fun or not, it’s hard to believe that it’s almost upon us.  And it’s even better that it’s on a Friday this year! While I don’t dress up like I did when I was younger, I do love passing out candy to the neighborhood kids.

Every year I scour the candy aisles at my local grocery store, trying to find the perfect bag of mixed treats for the kiddos. Oh, who am I kidding? I secretly pick out my favorite mix, which always involves Reese’s peanut butter cups, and stash a handful aside for myself. After all, that’s the best part, right?When I was younger, I loved dressing up as a princess, fairy, Ariel from The Little Mermaid (my favorite Disney movie) or my favorite, a 50’s girl! I loved twirling in my pink poodle skirt, with saddles shoes decorating my feet.

And even though that was my most cherished costume, there was one costume that I always wanted to be, yet never had the chance to. Ready for it? A can of pop! For some reason, I loved the costumes of cans of 7-UP, Coke, or anything of the kind. Silly, I know, but I always loved seeing the kids at my school dressed as that at our Halloween parties. But oh well, my other costumes were just as fun!

And speaking of Halloween parties, if you’re going to one (or even throwing a party) this year, I’ve got the perfect, festive treat for you! This Halloween Snack Mix is full of tasty treats, such as chex cereal coated with pumpkin spice pudding mix, pretzels, Pumpkin Spice Oreos, Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn, Pumpkin Spice M&Ms, and Halloween chocolate chips. Basically, it’s pumpkin spice flavored goodies in a bowl!

And the best part? You guessed it! This Halloween Snack Mix is so easy to make! And besides that, it’s very versatile depending on your tastes! Since I’m a huge fan of anything flavored with pumpkin, I decided to make this the ultimate, pumpkin snack mix.

If you remember my Red Velvet Muddy Buddies from last month, I based this Halloween Snack Mix from that.

I started by coating the rice chex cereal with melted white chocolate and pumpkin spice pudding mix. Once that was combined, I then coated the cereal with powdered sugar. Then into a bowl when the cereal, pretzels, Oreos, and candy. Give it a big stir and voila! Your Halloween Snack Mix is ready to serve! Couldn’t be easier, right?!

This Halloween Snack Mix is great to serve at a party, hand out to those trick-or-treaters that know you (I wouldn’t pass out to the random kiddos, as their parents would probably not approve of a homemade treat), or to simply munch on yourself!

And trust me guys, this didn’t last long in my house at all! Filled with pumpkin and spice, and everything nice, this is the perfect snack to ring in Halloween!

  1. Hahaha a can of coke? How funny! You know, your never too old to dress up. You may want to stay in the home so people don't look @ you, but it can be done :) Great mix btw!

  2. Wow, Gayle. This snack mix is eye-poppingly delicious! Love it! You should still be Ariel every year. The Disney princesses are very in right now. Everyone's doing it!

    • Thanks, Mir! It's full of pumpkin flavors! Ha ha unfortunately I'm not really into dressing up too much anymore, but I'll keep that thought in the back of my mind! :)

  3. I'm so excited Halloween or Halloweinner as we call it (blame it on the Dachshunds) is on Friday as well. It just makes you want to make this awesome Snack mix and order a pizza! Great for munching anytime really. And yes, we're having a little party at my house so the timing is perfect, almost too cold to trick-or-treat, and 80% rain. We know a lot of our neighbors really well so we could even make this up in snack bags like you suggested and pass out. Love the myriad of colors!

    • Reese's peanut butter cups are my weakness! I'm embarrassed to admit how many I'll eat if we have them in the house. And I love seeing the costumes, too. So many creative ones out there!

  6. This is such a bright and beautiful trail mix to start a Monday with Gayle! It looks perfect for Halloween and seriously addicting with all those savory and sweet eats in there (pretzels + cereal + choc. chips + candy = yumm!!) :) Too funny that you want to be a can of pop - I totally get it! Some of my favorite costumes are of people dressing up as food items (I love the banana costume). Pinned!!

    • Thanks, Ceara! It's definitely a perfect Monday snack. I'm glad you don't think a can of pop costume is too weird! And I love banana ones, too...especially on babies or toddlers! :)

  7. oh my gosh, I totally did the 50's girl costume too with the light pink poodle skirt and a poodle ironed on the bottom corner of the skirt ;-) so fun! ... This looks like the best Halloween snack to snack on while handing out candy ... save the extra stash for later in the weekend or week! ;-)

  10. I saw 'pumpkin spice' like 5x in the ingredient list and that was all I needed to know! Lol. How are the pumpkin spice oreos?? I still haven't seen them in my stores! This snack mix looks sooo good! It's cute and festive too. What a delicious combo of candies and stuff!

    • Can you tell that I love pumpkin flavors, Sarah? :) It was just too hard to resist all of the pumpkin cookies and candies that I found this year. And yes, those are pumpkin spice oreos! I had trouble finding them too, but now I see them everywhere. Thanks so much for the snack love!

  14. I really wanted to do something fun for Halloween. All the pumpkin spice stuff sounds delicious :) Will definitely try it ! Pinned to a couple of boards !

  15. The most fun part about Halloween for me is the fact that they play spooky movies on TV all day long!!!!! And I end up becoming a big couch potato that day {since Halloween isn't celebrated here, we don't have the trick or treat that I always wanted to experience, so my mum would get me the candy when I was younger, hehehe} I can completely imagine myself enjoying horror movies as I munch on this snack mix! It looks DELISH!!!!! <3

    • I love the Halloween movies, too! I haven't watched too many this year yet, so I better get on that! :) Thanks for the snack love, Samina!

  16. Looks delish! We went to an early Halloween party over the weekend, and I committed the cardinal sin of showing up empty-handed . . . sigh. Just haven't been able to get my act together this year. But this would have made an excellent contribution to the festivities!

  18. I love this! So colourful and fun! And you are definitely not the only one that takes out some of the favourites to save for yourself before handing out candy to trick or treaters! I always buy the box with Reese peanut butter cups, and make sure to NOT give all those away!

  24. I can't believe that it is almost Halloween! and then it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas in no time! That is hilarious about the can of pop costume! I don't think I have ever seen one of those before! I just always wanted to be a fairy princess, haha! I love this halloween candy mix and that bowl is so bright and pretty too :)

  35. I always hide the candies that I like at the bottom of my halloween bucket so that I get the good leftovers!! Your snack mix is so cute! I saw that pumpkin spice candy corn in the store, but I resisted buying it! Haha... I am interested to try it though, so I might not be as strong willed next time I go shopping ;)

    • That's a good idea, Jess! Save the best for last! :) Thanks for the kind words! And the pumpkin spice candy corn is interesting! Not really a true pumpkin flavor, but still tasty!
