Description
A festive, kid-friendly Halloween snack mix combining pretzels, candy corn, and white chocolate. This no-bake treat is perfect for parties, requires minimal effort, and allows children to help with the mixing process.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups pretzel rods or twists
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini pretzel bites
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
- 1–2 drops orange gel food coloring (optional)
- Vegetable oil (for thinning chocolate if needed)
Instructions
- Measure out all dry ingredients (pretzel rods, pretzel bites, and candy corn) into a large mixing bowl and toss gently to combine.
- Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 15-second intervals until smooth and pourable.
- Stir pumpkin spice and orange food coloring into the melted white chocolate until well combined.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets (or chill in the fridge for 5 minutes).
- Break the set mix into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to an airtight container or serving bowl.
Notes
White chocolate burns easily, so melt in short bursts. Use gel food coloring to avoid seizing the chocolate. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Do not refrigerate as the chocolate may sweat and become sticky. For a nut-free version, ensure all ingredients are certified nut-free.
