Make a big batch!
I love to make a big batch of this mix every time I have a get together at my house, especially for our annual Halloween party. The kids love it and the adults love it too! It’s super easy, plus, it’s really delicious! In my opinion, salty and sweet is the perfect paring and this snack mix has both. Saltiness from the Bugles (remember this from when we were kids?) and pretzels and sweetness from all that candy goodness.
The base of this Easy Harvest Snack Mix is Crispix cereal. I like the texture and size of this cereal. I also use the flat, butter snaps for the pretzels because it adds a nice buttery, saltiness to the mix as well. Lastly, Bugles because they are just plain good!
As for the sweet? I usually grab a package of fall M&Ms, candy corn and pumpkins, and mini-marshmallows. I like Reece’s Pieces too, but because some of my guests have peanut allergies, I usually stay away from peanut butter products. However, choose what you like and go to town! Add your favorites!
