A fall snack mix is one of my all-time favorite treats to make. I am one of those people who actually loves candy corn, and I look forward to snacking on it and making these homemade Butterfingers.
Years ago, a good friend introduced me to an even easier snack mix. She brought a bowl of this sweet mix to one of our meetings, and I seriously couldn't stop munching on it.
Why You'll Love This Candy Corn Mix
The salty peanuts and chewy candy corn will remind you of a Payday candy bar or a salted nut roll. Try it! 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. Adjust it to include more of what you like.
Key Ingredients
