Fall/Halloween Buddy Mix is a sweet and salty snack filled with candy, pretzels, and a cinnamon-sugar coating. It’s the perfect treat for autumn and Halloween, easy to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

4 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)

2 cups pretzels (mini pretzels or pretzel sticks)

1 1/2 cups candy corn

1 cup M&Ms (fall-themed colors like orange, yellow, and brown)

1 cup Reese’s Pieces or peanut butter candies

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or orange-colored candy melts)

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mix: In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, candy corn, M&Ms, and Reese’s Pieces. Set aside.
  2. Make the Coating: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Coat the Mix: Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Add the Chocolate: Spread the coated mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Melt the white chocolate chips (or candy melts) in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Buddy Mix and toss gently to coat.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the Buddy Mix cool completely. Once cooled, break it into pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

Change it up by adding other fall-themed candies like caramel bits, mini marshmallows, or pumpkin-shaped candies.

Swap the white chocolate with dark chocolate chips or peanut butter chips for a different flavor.

Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
