    This white chocolate Halloween snack mix is a quick and easy recipe, perfect for after-school snacking and Halloween parties. It comes together in minutes, is super tasty and versatile, allowing you to sub in other ingredients based on your preferences. It’s also a great sweet treat to add to my spooky Halloween Charcuterie Board.

    This is an updated spooky twist on my Holiday Chex Mix that has been a family favorite for years. You know its holiday season when this salty snack mix appears! And since festive holiday season truly begins in October, I had to update one of our favorite sweet treats for Halloween. Read on to see how quick and easy this Halloween Chex mix recipe is. And if you’d prefer your snack mix more savory than sweet, then definitely check out this Parmesan Ranch Bold Chex Mix.

    Why this recipe works

    • Delicious and full of great flavor and texture. With the mix of the different cereals, pretzels and nuts, offset by melted white chocolate, this Halloween mix is the perfect combination of sweet and savory, light and crunchy.
    • Customizable with your favorite ingredients. What we are really going for is a snack mix that has a blend of crunchy, salty and sweet flavors. Feel free to swap out ingredients for what you love or have on hand.
    • Makes a great little homemade gift. Boo your neighbor or family friends with a package of this and you’ll make a very happy family! Include a gift tag with the recipe attached so you can pass on the recipe for this great snack mix.
    • Budget friendly, quick and easy. Three things that are music to my ears.
    • No baking required! I love this delicious snack mix because it’s easy! But I also love it because I don’t need to bake it, as many other chex mixes require.

    Easy Halloween snack mix ingredients

    • Rice Chex and Corn Chex – 2 cups each and of course like I said above, feel free to sub in for a different type of Chex cereal.
    • Plain Cheerios – 2 cups
    • Salty pretzels sticks or twists – 2 cups
    • Mixed nuts, preferably unsalted – 1 cup
    • Festive holiday M & M’s – 1 bag (or sub out for another favorite Halloween candy like classic candy corn, candy corn pumpkins or Reese’s pieces)
    • White Chocolate Chips – 1 bag. I like either Guittard’s, or if you are watching your sugar, Lily’s makes a great low sugar chocolate chip
    • Optional fun add-ins – edible candy eyes and fun Halloween candy sprinkles to give

    How to make this homemade Chex mix for Halloween

    This monster munch comes together so easily you don’t really even have to think about it!

    Start by adding all 3 cereals to a large bowl, and then add the pretzels, nuts and candy to the cereal mixture. Gently mix together.

    Melt chocolate chips over a double broiler or in the microwave, then gently stir into the mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure to coat all the parts of the snack mix so the pieces stick together and create bite size chunks to enjoy.

    Place a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet, and spread out the fun Halloween snack mix on the prepared tray and let set to room temperature. When ready, break apart into chunks and small pieces. Toss in a bowl and serve right away, or store in an airtight container to enjoy later.

      My daughter made this for us the other day and we ate it UP in 2 days. It was so good, perfect snack for the Halloween season. I will definitely make it again closer to Halloween. I think my daughter is going to bag some up and take to her teachers!
