Ingredients
  

Snack Mix
  • 8 cups popped popcorn ~1/4 cup kernels
  • 2 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1 cup gluten free pretzel sticks I like Snyder’s GF
  • 1 cup peanuts
White Chocolate Drizzle
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut or vegetable oil
Mix-ins and Toppings
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 optional cup Halloween sprinkles
  • 1 optional pinch coarse sea salt
  • 1 optional sprinkle Edible eye balls

Equipment

  • 2 large baking sheets
  • parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • very large bowl
  • medium microwave-safe bowl
  • rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a very large bowl (or use 2 bowls), add the popcorn, Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, and peanuts.
  3. Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 10-second increments until completely melted.
  4. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mixture. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated. Mix in the Reese’s Pieces and candy corn.
  5. Spread the mixture into an even layer on the prepared baking sheets. Immediately sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles and salt, if using. Gently press the mix-ins into the chocolate so they stick together.
  6. Let the snack mix cool until the chocolate is set. Store leftovers in an airtight container or resealable bags. Enjoy!
