This irresistible snack mix takes the well-known combination of corn cereal, chocolate, peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar and gives it a Halloween twist. Mini candy bars (omnipresent this time of year) stand in for the chips and peanut butter. Salted peanuts and candy corn add color and salty crunch. The combination is scary good for Halloween--and the days after.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place a large glass bowl over a saucepan filled with 1 inch of water. Add the candy bars and butter to the bowl and turn the heat to medium. Heat, stirring occasionally and smashing any chunks with a rubber spatula, until both the candy and butter are completely melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  2. Add the cereal to the bowl with the chocolate mixture and stir to coat. Put the confectioners' sugar in a brown grocery bag or 2-gallon resealable bag, add the cereal mixture and shake to coat. Transfer to a large serving dish, gently toss in the peanuts and candy corn and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
