Halloween Trail Mix

Halloween Trail Mix

Published October 13, 2026

A sweet-salty snack mix of leftover chocolate candy with pretzels, cereal, popcorn, roasted peanuts and dried fruit.

Skip the peanuts for a nut-free version, but check labels on the candy. Add the candy last so it stays recognizable.

Swap in any nut or dried fruit you have; raisins and almonds both work well. Keeps 1 week airtight at room temperature.
