Halloween Snack Mix

Ingredients:
- Caramel popcorn
- Pretzels
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Candy-coated chocolates (or M&Ms)
- Nougat caramel chocolate bars (like Milky Way or Snickers)
- Halloween sprinkles
Can we use regular popcorn instead of caramel popcorn? Absolutely! The mixture just won’t be quite as sweet as plain popcorn.
Supplies:
- Measuring cups of various sizes
- Mixing bowls (large and small)
- Spatula
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
Instructions:
First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, toss together caramel popcorn and pretzel pieces in a large bowl. Then, melt chocolate chips on high for one minute in a microwave-safe bowl. Remove from microwave and stir well. If not completely melted, heat again for 30 seconds then stir well.
After that, pour melted chocolate into the popcorn and pretzel mixture. Stir well until all popcorn and pretzels are covered in chocolate. Pour the chocolate-coated mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle the candy-coated chocolates, and chocolate bar pieces, and sprinkles evenly over top.
Place the baking sheet of the Halloween snack mix into the fridge for 30 minutes so the chocolate sets and hardens. Finally, break them into chunks and store them in a food-safe storage bag or container. This lasts about 5 days at room temperature (no need to refrigerate it unless it’s warm in your house).
