This easy fall snack mix is one of my all time favorite treats to make in the fall. I am one of those crazy people that actually loves candy corn, and I look forward to snacking on it and making these homemade Butterfingers.

Years ago I was introduced to this harvest snack mix by a good friend.  She had a bowl of this sweet mix at one our meetings, and I seriously could not stop munching on it.  It's truly addicting. 

Why You Will Love This Fall Mix

There is something about the combination of salty peanuts and chewy candy corn that will remind you of a Payday candy bar or a salted nut roll.  Try it!  It's crazy how much it really does taste like those candy bars.

Adding Reese's Pieces and pretzels gives the candy corn trail mix a sweet and crunchy flair. Eating these ingredients together tones down the candy corn taste.

There is no trick to making this easy Halloween treat. You can add one cup of each ingredient, but that is just a guideline.  You can adjust it to have more of what you like in your mix.

Key Ingredients

This trail mix with candy corn is ready for snacking in under 5 minutes. All you have to do is pour, stir, and devour.

• Candy Corn - Regular or the candy corn mix is what you will need for this mix.
• Pretzels - We love finding the Halloween pretzels, but regular twists or waffle pretzels work too.

Use any leftover candy corn to decorate monster cookies, Reese's turkeys, or no bake Rice Krispies owl cookies.
