Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts)
- 1 cup of pretzels or popcorn
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips or candy melts
- ½ cup dried cranberries or spooky fruit candies
- ½ cup gummy worms or spiders
- ¼ cup candy corn or orange and black M&Ms
- Optional: edible eyes for extra spookiness
Instructions
- Prepare your base by measuring and optionally lightly toasting the mixed nuts in a oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to enhance their flavor.
- Combine toasted nuts, pretzels or popcorn, dried cranberries, and candies in a large bowl. Toss gently for even mixing.
- Add gummy worms, gummy spiders, candy corn, and place edible eyes on candies or treats for a spooky effect.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let flavors meld and set. Use a quick-cooling tool like a double oven if needed.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container like the JoyJolt Airtight Glass Food Storage Set to keep it fresh and crunchy for up to 2 weeks.
- For a healthier version, opt for dark chocolate, low-sugar candies, or roasted pumpkin seeds.
- Use gluten-free pretzels or nut substitutes for dietary restrictions.
