Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups pretzel twists
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Optional Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts

Spices

  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Mix: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Rice Chex cereal and pretzel twists until evenly combined.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Spice: Stir the pumpkin pie spice into the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
  4. Coat Cereal and Pretzels: Pour the spiced melted white chocolate over the cereal and pretzel mixture. Gently stir to coat all pieces evenly in the chocolate.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated mix and toss gently to create a light sweet powdery finish.
  6. Set the Mixture: Spread the coated mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to set at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, letting the chocolate harden.
  7. Add Sweet Mix-ins: Once set, add the candy corn, Reese’s Pieces, mini marshmallows, and optional Halloween sprinkles to the mixture. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
  8. Store: Transfer the buddy mix to an airtight container to keep fresh until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Customize this buddy mix with your favorite Halloween candies or substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor.
  • Perfect for parties, treat bags, or as a fun Halloween snack for kids and adults alike.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness.
  • Ensure chocolate is cooled slightly if adding heat-sensitive toppings to prevent melting.
